Take a mini retreat and dive in with last year’s family of Tahoe Trekkers!

  • Vision Statement: We envision this trip as being a haven for cultivating meaningful connections through our community networks. Additionally, availing supportive opportunities for people to heal through shared play, recreational and somatic therapy as well as developing permanent connections through community resources. This will be a holistic retreat that not only serves as a vacation from everyday life but as a supportive stepping stone when returning home and as an integral part of an individual’s continuum of care.

  • Outcome:  Our intended outcome is to provide an accessible retreat/adventure experience that brings diverse populations together: isolated youth and families, adults experiencing homelessness as well as adults with varying physical abilities. The intended outcome is also to support overall improved sense of emotional and physical stability, improved mental health, decrease social stigma and to provide resources that help to mitigate and decrease the impact of trauma through prosocial activities.

  • Impact: The Impact we wish to contribute to the world is equity and authentic inclusion for all people!
