*There will be an added feature to LOA II. There will be 12 college students helping to give leadership to this high school trip through the College Summer Project.

Frontcountry

This is what most people consider "camping". Camping in the frontcountry is typically done at well establisehd campsites that have bathrooms close by, running water, etc.

Backcountry

This is what real "camping" is all about. Camping in the backcountry consists of packing all of your food, supplies, and equipment into overnight packs and heading off on foot. During the backcountry portion of the trip, we will leave our extra gear and clothes that we will not be needing in the vehichles. There will be no need to carry everything that you bring with you into the backcountry.

Traveling Details

You are expected to arrive at the Salt Lake City Airport no later than 2:00 pm on the first day of the trip.

LOA I: Tuesday, June 26th; LOA II: Thursday, July 5th

In other words, you are responsible for your airfare to and from Salt Lake City Airport or arranging other transportation. From there we will be driving to the Grand Tetons National Park. The drive will take about 5 hours so be prepared for a long day of travel.

One of the leaders will meet you in the baggage claim area.

The 2nd to last day of the trip we will travel back to Salt Lake City and camp at a KOA (Kampground of America) that night. Therefore, the last day of the scheduled trip will simply be the flight back home. In scheduling your airfare feel free to get a return flight as early as 6:00 a.m.

LOA I: Wednesday, July 4th; LOA II: Friday, July 13th
