Overview

At LEAP our mission is to offer opportunities for empowerment for people facing adversity and trauma by providing therapeutic wilderness programs. We value community, reflection, and movement. We create meaningful learning experiences, believe each person has worth and dignity, and share the importance of wilderness as pillars to every experience we facilitate.

Our Flagship whitewater program is unmatched by any other. It provides the opportunity for participants to paddle solo inflatable kayaks over 53 miles of river -- from flat water to big waves of class II-IV rapids -- and camp under the stars each night. In our time off the water, we enjoy group activities, reflections, games, discussions, and delicious and healthful meals. 

Highlights

  • Our curriculum is designed to support individual success and group development through overcoming challenges together in a natural setting.
  • Participants learn to navigate class II-IV rapids and engage in healthy risk taking.
  • We focus on reflection and group collaboration to encourage learning from daily experiences and decisions on the river.
