TSX Student Treks
First Class for Your Class
Discover our multi-night youth treks for students age 13 – 17.
We make it easy to inspire the next generation.
Since 2019 we’ve been leading student treks to remote destinations across the west, including the Grand Canyon, John Muir Wilderness, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, Mt. Whitney, the Lost Coast and Gila Wilderness. We work with educators to facilitate the integration of world class outdoor experiences with custom themes, labs, and curriculum. We believe better outcomes for stewardship and communication can be achieved through our experiential programs and we’re proud to enable these programs for a range of high schools, clubs and community organizations.
We have the only NPS approved Educational Trek that takes students to the top of Mt. Whitney.
Our founders have lead hundreds of students across the Sierra to Mt. Whitney. Discover our Environmental Science program in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, and how you can bring an week-long educational trek across the Sierra to Mt. Whitney to your club or organization.
Availability is limited.
