Ever wonder what it’s like to spend a day out on the backpacking trail during Trek? In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the most unique parts of the gap year experience — a trip where students take the lead, staff step into the background, and the wilderness becomes the classroom. From unexpected weather shifts to trailhead hiccups, and the simple joys of trail life, I’ll share stories from the trail that show how Trek is more than just a hike — it’s a space for growth, leadership, and a whole lot of surprises. Lace up your boots (or at least your imagination) and come along for the journey!
