“Paige can’t stop talking about how much she misses her Apogee trip! Traveling by plane felt a bit daunting for a 12-year-old, but with Apogee’s support, we felt prepared and excited for the experience. The variety of challenging yet fun activities made this a trip she’ll remember fondly for years to come.”

“This summer’s hiking trip was truly an unforgettable adventure, thanks to the skilled, attentive, and genuinely invested trip leaders who made every moment special. My child came home with incredible memories and lasting friendships. This was actually our sixth Apogee trip between two children, and the experience never gets old! Apogee continues to deliver meaningful, life-shaping adventures for our family.”

“Wow, just WOW! Our son’s experience on his Apogee trip completely exceeded our expectations. He’s a city kid who loves the outdoors, adventure, and water sports, but we were amazed by how much he loved the trip, especially the opportunity to unplug, connect with others, and experience the right amount of challenge and growth; he even came home immediately looking to find his next Apogee adventure! As parents, we appreciated the emphasis on safety, genuine fun, and human connection, and we’re so grateful we trusted Apogee to give him an experience he’ll remember well into adulthood.”
