A spectacular location for adventure, learning and having loads of fun! This program is a unique
opportunity that will enrich the thrill of discovery, the pride of accomplishment and the excitement
of exploring the wilderness. The ultimate goal is to challenge young adults to discover their own
abilities, overcome self-imposed limitations, develop greater responsibility and gain greater insight
into themselves and the world around them.
Expeditions are with students from under-served communities in NYC, trekking through specific
regions of Costa Rica. Allowing students to capture a sense of the area’s ecology, value the diversity
and experience true adventure. A new level of awareness will be gained by stepping out of one's
personal comfort zones, taking on a group experience in a unique environment while acquiring
invaluable wilderness skills.
Our continuing goal is to expand our innovative programs. To create an educational environment
that is self-sufficient and far-reaching. Always an emphasis on our core values; Courage, Trust,
Compassion, Integrity and a reconnection of nature to our traditionally under-served youth.
Thank You to all that have inspired....
My hope is that a trip with City Trekker will leave a deep mark on our youth. It will help develop in
each a sense of adventure; a commitment to protection of their environment, no matter where it is;
a profound respect for their peers of similar and different cultures; and most importantly, a strong
sense of self.
