With Labor Day behind us, we've approached the end of those transformational summer months.

The last cohorts of Summer Search students have pushed past their comfort zones on outdoor expeditions, discovering new strengths and building confidence that will carry them through college and beyond. It's more than just a fun trip; it's a transformational experience.

Our community of supporters makes it possible to offer our program for free to every single Summer Searcher (9,300 and counting!).
