Plan Your Wilderness Adventure Trek Now
YWAP and Xertion Youth still have some spots open for our Wilderness Adventure Program this summer. Start planning now if you know any young people (or old people who just want an adventure!) who are looking for the trip of a lifetime this summer. The cost per person is $125 and includes transportation (over 700 miles,) food, lodging (tent) and a hike to one of the 46 high peaks over 4,000 feet in the Adirondacks. Weather permitting; we will drive you up Whiteface Mountain on the day after your hike so you can rest your tired body while enjoying a spectacular view. Typically the journey covers 3 days; Day 1 depart 8-9am (Buffalo area), Day 2 hike, Day 3 return 8-9pm. Longer treks are available upon request. We also provide sleeping bags if needed and we usually do a campfire with smores.
Our next available date is for college students and will take place on June 10-12, 2011. Call us now at 716-830-8240 to make your reservations. YWAP and Xertion Youth have been taking people on Wilderness Adventure Treks for over 5 years and we have never lost anybody! Every participant has successfully reached the goal of the top of the mountain. We've never had a camper eaten by a bear (just Black Flies) and we found that snakes don't come in your sleeping bag because they don't know how to operate the zipper on the tent!
Your hosts are Bob Kuebler and Daryl Boss. Bob is the Founder/Director of Youth With A Purpose Inc. YWAP has been working with young people of all ages for over 10 years.

As a member of Climbing for Christ, Bob climbed Kily along with serving in orphanages in Tanzania and Malawi.

Daryl has is also one of the leaders of Breakout, a youth program that spreads good news through service projects and community celebrations that change whole neighborhoods.
