Teens – Appalachian Mountain Club

Teen Wilderness Adventures

Designed for teens (ages 13-16), these exciting trips focus on backcountry travel, gaining valuable outdoor skills, and learning the importance of public lands and conservation—all in a spectacular setting.

This unique combination fosters an appreciation for the environment, develops self-esteem, instills a spirit of adventure, and promotes teamwork, friendship, and a sense of community through memorable wilderness experiences. Among our 6-day outdoor adventures, teens will find opportunities to hike, backpack, canoe and/or perform trail work.

I come here hiking all the time. The AMC staff are an added bonus ‐ they helped me find new trails to hike and taught me new things about plant life and animal behaviors. Great to have interesting and informative people here that added to my experience.

I kept trying to get my boyfriend to come out here and visit because he didn’t believe there was such a huge, beautiful park right outside of NYC. We finally made it and were surprised to find a visitor center right by a hiking trail. The best part was the AMC naturalist who gave us all kinds of information about wildlife, trees, plants, and bears...something we never experience where we live.

I became involved with AMC because of my love for the outdoors, and the organization’s myriad types of trip offerings, at all levels, led by experienced guides. Hiking, skiing, bicycling, water sports, even international travel, you name it—AMC has it all!

I’m proud to support the variety of work from Maine dark skies to regional trail maintenance projects. I’ve also enjoyed AMC maintained trails and huts from NJ to NH.
