Consider Giving Teens the Gift of Travel This Holiday Season

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 24, 2009 ) Jackson, Wyo.Â—The holidays are just around the corner, and so is prime gift giving time. This year, instead of stocking up on gifts for your teens, consider giving them the gift of an experience. Wilderness Ventures, the oldest and most experienced adventure travel program for young people, offers life-altering experiences in some of the worldÂ’s most magnificent settings.

These wilderness adventures are crafted for young adults who are just beginning their experiences in the outdoors or teenagers who are accustomed to outdoor life. The companies' Leadership Adventures, Leadership Expeditions, International Adventures, and Community Service Adventures offer unparalleled educational opportunities, and offer a creative alternative to traditional holiday gift giving as teens will walk away from these adventures with something that cannot be purchased in a store.

The Wilderness Ventures' programs range from 14 days to 6 weeks, and the participants engage in multi-activity wilderness and outdoor adventures, including backpacking, whitewater rafting, whitewater kayaking, sea kayaking, rock climbing, canoeing, inflatable kayaking, mountaineering, fly fishing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, sailing, surfing, and mountain biking. All of the adventures provide imaginative and unforgettable journeys into the backcountry in some of the most beautiful outdoor and wilderness areas of national parks and forests in North America and abroad, or along bicycle routes around these stunning environments.
