Why Adventures

It has been our observation over the years that the most powerful way to form transformative relationships is through shared experience. We are taking that shared experience to the next level. Taking kids outside their normal environment to see a world that's bigger than the one they know. We stand behind the idea that sometimes a little fresh air can clear up life's foggiest of matters, and only in nature can you really discover how far you can go, finding then that you can go a little further. Some of life's greatest views come at the end of the hardest of climbs. Go for it! We're with you!

“I regard it as the foremost task of education to ensure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for reasonable self-denial and above all compassion.”

One-Day TRips

One-Eighty “One-Day Trips” are exciting day trips designed to get youth and young adults out of Lodi and into a bigger world. Places like Yosemite National Park & the North Coast,

and experiences like rock climbing, kayaking, and tide pooling can be expected on these days.

The cost is kept to a minimum, and the experiences are geared toward kids of all skill levels.

Base Camp Expeditions

Our newest adventures, Base Camp Expeditions are the result of a brand new partnership with the Lodi Parks and Recreation Office. These 4 or 5-day experiences will take students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to some of our state's most beautiful and wild places. They will learn outdoor skills, gain a greater understanding of conservation and natural science, and discover life and leadership skills in a way that no other format can bring out. Trips will include Monterey Bay, the Tahoe Basin, Yosemite, and Humboldt Redwoods State Park, and are offered free of charge to qualified individuals.

Wilderness Expeditions

The One-Eighty Wilderness Treks takes things to the “next level.” These multi-day, backcountry adventures are designed to develop life and leadership skills for young people ready to accept challenges, test their limits, and overcome obstacles. We will put on our backpacks and head into God’s wild places. We will build trust, self-awareness, goal-setting, communication, and productive life skills. We won’t be the same when we get home.  *The Wilderness Experience isn’t limited to One-Eighty’s program. Contact us if you are interested in a customized experience for your group.
