Lasting Adventures

The #1-rated summer camp in Yosemite National Park! Now also offering camps in Olympic National Park and Joshua Tree National Park!

“Lasting Adventures is an incredible organization! My 15-year-old son just completed a 13-day backpacking trip in Yosemite and hasn’t yet stopped talking about his amazing experience…”

Whether it’s a 6-day High Country Adventure in Olympic, a 13-day submersion in the Sierras, or a 27-day Junior Leadership Expedition, our #1-trusted West Coast summer camp programs set a stage for your child to experience nature’s most spectacular offerings in a controlled environment where education and fun are equally paramount.

Throughout the summer, Lasting Adventures guides youth ages 11-18 on high adventure excursions in and around Yosemite and Olympic National Park, and in fall and winter in Joshua Tree National Park. While having fun, making new friends, and learning about the outdoors, these adventures focus on positive youth development. Staffed by professional educators and naturalists, our mission is to use the natural environment and outdoor activities to teach youth the necessary skills and attitudes for living successful lives.

Through our program, participants are challenged and rewarded with opportunities to improve their senses of self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence. Along with creating lasting memories, it is our goal that participants finish this adventure with a greater knowledge of themselves, the world, and the environment around them.

“… He loved the guides-they were fun, smart, patient, full of humor, and ready to teach and share what they knew. He also talked about all the educational lessons and how much he learned about the land he was on including geology, weather, and the history of the indigenous people. He gained so much from the trip and I can tell his perspective on himself and the world he lives in has changed with every mile of the 65 he traveled! In addition, every piece of correspondence I have had with Lasting Adventures has been prompt and professional. I would most highly recommend this organization and I feel so lucky to have found them!”
