Students must sign up NOW and attend our mandatory Virtual Parent Meeting next Monday, June 8, from 6:30-9:00pm. Two- week trip includes all airfare, lodging, food and gear. Cost $100-$400.

Experience the wild during two-week summer immersion programs in Donner Pass and Olympic National Park. Participants learn camping skills, experience rock climbing or canoeing, and go on a guided 6-day backpacking trek. Students emerge with a stronger self and understanding of the world around them.

June is officially here which means one thing at The Woods Project: it's time for our two-week summer trips! This summer we are sending students to Olympic National Park, Donner Pass, Breckenridge and Apostle Islands.

Activities on our trips are always planned with fun and adventure in mind! This includes ziplining, kayaking and hiking, all of which give our students the chance to immerse themselves in fun while learning critical life skills.

Happy National Trails Day! 🌲🥾

At The Woods Project, the trail is our classroom. It’s where our students discover their strength, build lifelong friendships, and connect with the world around them. Today, we celebrate the paths that lead us to new adventures and the volunteers who help us get there.

See you out there! ✨

Becoming a strong leader, one bead at a time 🪢

Every night during our summer trips, The Woods Project hosts a traditional bead ceremony honoring the accomplishments and resilience of our students. With each bead comes great honor, symbolizing our students' stories, growth and community.

Nothing beats the view from the top. Whether it’s Olympic National Park, Breckenridge, Donner Pass or anywhere the trail leads to, our students make the most of each moment and fully immerse themselves in the gorgeous scenery. The climb may be tough, but the views always make it worth it.

What could be more exciting than exploring a new place? Hiking through the area with your peers! Our students enjoy backpacking through the woods and taking a look at the serene nature that surrounds them. You can't get an experience like this in Houston!

What skills do our students learn on our trips? Adaptability. Perseverance. Curiosity.

When our students embark on our summer trips, they embrace new challenges and learn a lot about themselves in the process, becoming well-prepared with the social and emotional skills needed for success.
