New High Adventure Base!
Sierra
Expeditions is a new High Adventure base which provides a Wilderness
Adventure
Education program unlike any other in the country. The programs are developed
around
a unifying principle of experiential learning. Utilizing high adventure
activities in a
wilderness setting as a catalyst for personal growth and leadership development,
all
programs have been developed to be challenging both physically and mentally.
Sierra Expedition’s recognizes
the value of wilderness areas, and acknowledge
our responsibility to treat them with respect and apply sound judgment as we
visit and
travel within them. Due to these beliefs we advocate high standards for
environmental
stewardship both for ourselves as well as our participants. All of our programs
feature
Leave No Trace awareness workshops and discussions in wilderness ethics.
Our base camp is located in the
Kern Valley of the Sequoia National Monument.
We share facilities with Boy Scout
Camp Whitsett,
in the Sequoia National Monument,
which is operated by the Western Los Angeles County Council.
We currently offer extensive
programs for any ability type in Backpacking, Mountain Biking,
and an incredibly unique wilderness leadership development program. Future
program
offerings include Backcountry Fly Fishing, High Adventure Training classes,
Venture Crew
Kodiak leadership courses, and a week long traditional rock climbing program.
