Have you heard of our hybrid expeditions? 🤝

At Project ALTO we believe shared experiences are the best way to create strong bonds. Our hybrid expeditions provide a unique model for networking by building relationships that continue far past the expedition. These expeditions teach important outdoor skills while also nurturing participants abilities to communicate and work amongst diverse groups and changing environments. 🌏

Have you ever been camping? ⛺️

If the answer is no, you’re not alone. A survey found that 43% of young adults have never gone camping or hiking.

Doing something new, especially something that requires new skills and knowledge, is intimidating. With Project ALTO, you can learn the basic skills to get outdoors more and experience the joy of nature. 🌿

This weekend our ALTO expeditioners got a *little* wet. ☔️

Luckily, our guides came prepared. We hiked 12 miles of Harriman State Park and taught four major skill groups- wilderness first aid, foraging, land navigation, and knots. Our participants braved the storm and learned a lot along the way. 🌦

Lots of planning going on this week. 🗺️

Here are 5 tips for going into the wilderness prepared:

📍map it out - it’s best to know your intended route ahead of time. Mapping it out helps you to know where you can refill water, spend the night, and more!

📝 write a list - and check it twice 🎅🏼

🚑 pack a first aid kit - check out our post on common injuries and how to prepare!

⛈️ check the weather - got rain in the forecast? Snow? Heat wave? It’s best to know these things prior to hitting the trail so you can better prepare your clothing, food, and water supplies.

📞 share your plans with a family member or friend - we always recommend a safety backup, someone who has an idea of what you’re doing and when you should be back.

Can you build a friendship and a fire at the same time?

Here at Project ALTO we believe that shared outdoor experiences create a unique opportunity to build lasting relationships. 🤝

Each core skill challenges participants to adapt in new ways. Through these lessons, participants learn to collaborate with their teams, communicate effectively, strengthen leadership skills, and perform under pressure.
