Alps Explorer A (AXA)

AXA braved their last day on the Tour du Mont Blanc today! They had an early wake up to hike the final 10 miles (of 105!!!!) before making their way to Geneva to celebrate tonight! Burgers followed by gelato tonight – we can’t think of a better way to end the day!

Alps Explorer B (AXB)

AXB finished the Tour du Mont Blanc with a bang! They got up early for the sunrise, and made it all the way back to the pink church! Rumor has it the cows even got up early to wish them goodbye. Now they’re off to Geneva to celebrate their accomplishments! Hooray!

Colorado’s Rocky Mountains (CRM)

Today our CRM crew reached new heights – literally! They rock climbed the day away, and got in touch with their inner mountain goats. Before we know it, they’ll be scrambling up mountains in a heartbeat!

Costa Rica Mountains & Coast (CRMC)

Let the exploration of Costa Rica begin! Aria and Ben could not be more ecstatic to meet their kids today! Now they’re off to explore the mountains and coast of Costa Rica, from ziplining through the Cloud Forest, to surfing in tropical blue waters! Pura vida! 

Caribbean Service Puerto Rico (CSPR)

Hola amigos! Today kicks off our first day of CSPR! The gang united at the airport, and now they’re off to tackle great adventures, from community service in the rainforest to snorkeling in tropical waters!  

Caribbean Service Virgin Islands (CSVI)

Today the CSVI gang worked with The Ocean Foundation to conserve sea turtle habitats! St. Croix is a major nesting ground for three types of sea turtles, so the kiddos are really making a difference in keeping these wonderful creatures safe! After service, the crew made their way down to a picturesque tropical beach to cool off, play, and relax. So turtley awesome!

Europe Coast to Coast (ECC)

Our ECCers have been cruising through France with grace. Today was hot, but fear not! The crew cooled down after biking at the pool! Tomorrow is their last full day of riding in France then its guten tag to Germany! 

Iceland Mountains & Coast (IMC)

The IMC gang started the day with an epic six mile hike, through a cloud! After their hike, they warmed up with hot cocoa and tea, from a super cool school bus cafe! Then they made their way to a black sand beach to play the dance game and hacky sack. Tonight they’re hitting the hay early, to rest up for their big hike tomorrow. So much fun! 

 

Maine Coast Junior (MCJ)

Hooray for MCJ! Nico, Kate, and Maura could not be more excited to get to know the kiddos this week. Our crew has united, and is headed off to camp! They are looking forward to playing lots of games tonight, and enjoying a scrumptious dinner.

New England Mountains & Coast (NEMC)

The NEMC crew kicked off the day with adventure! This morning the river rats hit the whitewater for rafting! After rafting, they enjoyed a scrumptious cook-out lunch. Nothing like a day on the water!

Northwest Mountains & Coast (NWMC)

Let the Northwest Mountains and Coast adventures begin! Our NWMC crew is ready to see the sights and experience the adventure! From hiking through Olympic National Park, to sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands of Puget Sound, they are ready to roll! 

Pacific Coast (PC)

Today PC was cruising along the coast, soaking up the sweet Pacific Coast views. They made their way over rolling hills, chatting and laughing along the way. Nothing like summer in California!
