About Our Specialty Trips
Enjoy a unique twist on the classic wilderness experience by weaving our base trips with an extra specialty or a specific theme.
A Wilderness Inquiry specialty trip provides participants with a chance to enjoy the outdoors and the communal joy of a trip from a new angle, often featuring new activities. You can still expect the same high-quality level of outdoor engagement and adventure as our other extended programs, but with the added benefit of meeting people who share similar or more niche interests. These programs remain accessible to participants with different abilities and disabilities and sometimes include a guest expert, such as an author or artist, to lead specialized activities.

A Variety of Perspectives

Pushing Boundaries and Interests
