MindStretch Travel Adventures
Boys' Adventure Travel Program
MindStretch Travel Adventures offers adventure travel programs for boys ages 9 and older. Boys participate in camp-type activities during the day such as hiking, exploring, geocaching, rafting, canoeing, horseback riding, and mountain biking. And they also get to spend time just being tourists in some of the greatest scenic areas in the United States and abroad.
Trips vary in length from 7 to 21 days depending on year and destination. In the evening boys stay in motels (most with pools) and enjoy a dinner in a sit-down restaurant. Destinations include: Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, New England, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Canada, and more. Every two or three years MindStretch Travel Adventures offers a unique opportunity to travel through Europe by Eurail. Boys pick and choose where they want to visit and get there by Europe's fantastic train system.

Cottonwood Gulch Foundation
Wilderness Adventure Program
Backpack up a mountain, live in a canyon, survey with an archaeologist, go rock climbing, restore burrowing owl habitat, silversmith your own jewelry, become best friends with someone you won't meet anywhere else - all in one summer. And we've been doing this longer than just about everyone--since 1926, our traveling expeditions have explored the Four Corners area, backpacking into remote wilderness areas, canoeing river canyons and exploring ancestral Puebloan ruins and the modern cultures of the Southwest.
Friendships and lessons learned at the Gulch last a lifetime, and a large number of our Trekkers and staff "70%-75%" return for another summer. Expeditions range from 2-6 weeks in length and are for those ages 10-19. Options include both single-sex and co-ed groups. Call or email for a free brochure, or just to chat with us about why we love what we do!
