Upon traveling many miles powered by one's own physique, a person will feel their personal strength and understand that they are capable of great things. This is what our teens experience upon cycling a hundred or hundreds of miles on their Teen Treks bike trip.

Structure yet Flexibility

Teen Treks offers a mixture of both structure and flexibility with the leaders' guidance. Safe cycling roads are identified, itineraries are planned prior to the start of the trip, and most overnights are booked in advance by Teen Treks staff. This structure allows each group to fill in routes and activities which fit the interests of the whole group. Teens are responsible for sharing their interests, listening to their trip-mates and participating in group decision-making. This process fosters leadership, positive teamwork, and promises a great time!

A Teen Treks bike trip is the best arena for a teen to experience success and fulfillment. Biking allows our groups to travel through many different places - towns, cities, and countryside - at a pace that allows them to really experience what is around them, while also providing the forward motion, which lends to a feeling of accomplishment.

One of the unique advantages to adventure travel is the inevitability of surprise. Each trip runs into at least a few unexpected problem-solving situations (such as a grocery store being closed, bad weather, bike breakdowns, people giving wrong directions, etc.) Leaders and staff are always right there in case of a serious situation, but mostly groups work together to solve these smaller unpredictable issues.

Camping allows all people the opportunity to tap into the quiet, simplicity, beauty and grandeur of nature. Gathering beneath the stars at night brings Teen Treks groups closer together. Nights of retreat from big cities encourages them to find joy together without distractions. And they do! Song circles, group games, smores, and storytelling are just some of the activities which bloom on our camping nights.
