What is YETI?

Using outdoor adventure experiences, we teach essential life skills, promote self confidence and foster a love of the outdoors. We also employ experiential learning for team building and to develop emotional/social intelligence which has proven to promote academic success back in the traditional classroom setting.

We offer open enrollment, co-ed programs to youth from all social, cultural and economic backgrounds.

Our hope is that all participants emerge a stronger, more confident version of their previous selves.

The hope is to create lasting bonds between peers, develop  appreciation for natural environments and promote healthy relationships with family members, teachers and other adults.

Our programs serve grades K-12 with a variety of adventure and challenge style learning programs.
