Matts been running trips/adventures since 1992. The idea has been to gather 20-25 kids, a few small children and three adults and get out on the road for a month or more. The teens have to do all their own shopping, cooking, tenting and cleaning. The adults are there to drive, advise, supervise and surmise, but really the trips are long, traveling explorations into self-reliance, both individual and collaborative.

Teen Trips have included Death Valley (1998), Montana/Alberta (1999), Montana/Idaho (2000), Utah (2001), Writing-on-Stone (2003).
