Your Adventure Itinerary

Backpack through White Mountain National Forest

We will teach you everything you need to know during our scenic day hike.  Then, you can choose your level of challenge for our backpacking trip.  You’ll spend four days hiking and camping in the beautiful White Mountains.  You may even learn a bit about the forest along the way.  We’ll cross rivers, explore the rugged mountain landscape, and camp in pristine areas.

Rock Climbing in Legendary Franconia Notch and Rumney

Spend 2 full days rock climbing; one at each of these legendary climbing areas.  Both located in northern New Hampshire, they have 1000’s of fantastic climbs for rock climbers of all ability levels.

Mountain Biking on The Kingdom Trails

We will enjoy 2 days on the #1 rated mountain bike trail network (by Bike Magazine) in the North America!  These trails are perfect for beginners, as well as advanced riders.

Summit Mount Washington

This trip ends climactically, as we take a day to head up to our base camp on the highest mountain in the northeast.  The following morning we make an alpine start for the summit of this spectacular peak.

White Water Rafting on The Kennebec River

We take our journey over the next border and head to Maine’s Kennebec River.  Our first day we will learn to paddle our own sit on top kayaks starting in class I and II water before moving on to exciting class III sections.  We will spend the night on the river and the next morning switch our kayaks for rafts to take on the infamous class IV Gorge and many other exciting rapids.

Appropriate Challenge
These trips are suitable for students with little or no previous outdoor experience, as well as those seasoned in the ways of outdoor trips.  Each student is offered the opportunity to choose different levels of challenge for each activity.  A positive attitude and open mind are the two key ingredients to a great adventure.  Students should be in good physical shape and ready to take on new challenges.


New England Adventure
The White Mountain School has partnered with our friends at Adventure Treks to create the ULTIMATE trip in the Northeast.  Students who are currently in 8th or 9th grade will find that one day they are hiking the majestic Long Trail in Vermont, the next rock climbing at world renowned Rumney, and then on a multi-day rafting trip.  We participate in the best of Northeastern activities.  You will quickly discover why Ultimate is the only name that works!
