Trekkers

Six years. Two teams. Countless miles, memories, and moments of growth.

Congratulations to all the graduating students from teams Crag and Crux! It’s been such a journey watching you become leaders, problem-solvers, and genuinely good humans. You’ve made it through Trekkers, Zach, Estelle, Cade, Morgan, Maggie, Jesse, Jude, Harmony, Henry, Addie, Trinity, Donovan, Jackson L, Jackson R, Russel, Bella, Maddie, Evan, and Isabelle!

And when we say congrats, we're speaking to all the students who were Trekkers at some point but whose journey took them elsewhere. You are all still Trekkers, you are still part of the team, and we are just a call, email, text, visit away. Once a Trekker, always a Trekker!

Last week, we held our biennial art auction with nearly 40 works of art from supporting artists across our region and country. We raised just over $9K, which will go directly to supporting our programs next year - thank you!

Every bid and every donation to this auction helps give our students opportunities - access to caring mentors and experiences in our community, across the country, and over international borders. Because of your support, Trekkers students have shown year after year to improve resilience, connection, and move into adulthood with a sense of purpose. We cannot do this work without you!

A special thanks to all our artists who contributed to this incredible collection!

We are so glad to have y’all onboard with Trekkers! Here are a few shots of their departure.
