Teen Wilderness Weekends

What to bring

Follow the Teen Weekend gear list. We have gear to share, so lack of experience or equipment should never stop a teen from coming.

Good to know

Families drop off at the weekend location, shared before each trip. Teachers and counselors: email heather@whitepineprograms.org about students who would benefit.
