Wildlife, Geysers, and Mountains: A National Park Adventure: July 16–July 22, 2023

Hike, canoe, and camp in the undisturbed landscapes of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

About the Trip

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.

Discover new confidence as a leader under the guidance of field instructors at 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 with other Girl Scouts from across the nation.

Catch a glimpse of wolves and bears and learn about the inner workings of mysterious thermal features on a two-night camping trip to Yellowstone National Park.
