Wildlife, Geysers & Mountains: A National Park Adventure
Hike, canoe, and camp in the undisturbed landscapes of Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Parks!
Do you want to change the world? There is no better place to find this inspiration than in Yellowstone, our first national park, or at the base of the Tetons, where the Wilderness Act was envisioned. You will be surrounded by snow-capped mountains, iconic geysers, and North America’s most magnificent wildlife, as you immerse yourself in one of the most breathtaking places on earth.
Step out of your comfort zone and discover new confidence as a leader under the guidance of field instructors at the Teton Science Schools. Together, on foot and by canoe, explore Grand Teton National Park. Practice naturalist skills and give back through service as you build long-lasting friendships and create memories of a lifetime with other Girl Scouts from across the nation. View wolves and bears and learn about the inner workings of mysterious thermal features on a two-night camping trip to Yellowstone National Park.
