Plan a trip
different programs to meet every need
To support a diversity of partners, we offer a variety of programs.
Backpacking
Travel off-trail through one of our premiere backpacking destinations. We’ll teach you to navigate and work as a team. You choose where to go and how difficult the days will be each day!
Basecamping
Ride BOAT to a wilderness base camp for a week of hiking, camping, and exploring the region. Typically tent camping with a central kitchen area or lodge, or cabins in the winter. We base in one place and move around for day trips.
Roadtrip
Play some tunes, hop on the bus, and check out a new adventure every day – a wider array of activities and campsites, switching locations on a regular basis. This lets us cover a lot of ground to see a “greatest hits” set of sites and activities.
some of our previous trips
It can be hard to get youth out on trips.
We make it easier.
Planning an expedition can leave you figuring out gear, transportation, and risk management outside your normal scope. Our program was designed to meet the needs of organizations from start to finish, so you can safely and seamlessly integrate expeditions into the work you already do. It’s an outdoor program hosted by you, but powered by BOAT!
What You Get
- Staffing: We can fully staff programs, or integrate your teams to lead programs in partnership with you.
- Administration: Insurance, risk management, and more - we’ll take on the admin burden to make the program “plug and play.”
- Transportation: The program runs from the bus, moving people from rec centers or schools to wilderness areas (and back)
- Quality Gear: Students only need to show up in their "gym" clothes and decent shoes - we can outfit the rest with some of the best available gear.
