From the Esperanza Website:   

• 5 Day Hike along the Nootka Trail.
• 5 days camping and exploring at Camp Ferrier.
• 5 day canoe voyage back to Esperanza.
• Serving on Work Crew at Teen Camp.

"The Journey takes youth ages 14-17 on the adventure of a lifetime -- challenging them in body, mind and spirit.  A team of experienced staff take a maximum of 12 teens hiking, camping, and canoeing through Nootka Sound.
 

Beginning at Yuquot/Friendly Cove, we hike the Nootka Trail. These days you will spend carrying all you need on your back, learning about the area, about the Way, the nature of God, living on the trail, and survival.

The next days are spent at remote Camp Ferrier learning life skills, working together, and living a simple life free from all but the most necessary modern technology.

The final leg of the Journey is spent island-hopping in a canoe through Nuchatlitz Provincial Park and Esperanza Inlet before concluding the journey in Esperanza.  No previous outdoor experience is required to join us on this journey.   We will teach what you need to know along the way."
