“To provide positive youth development and educational opportunities through safe outdoor experiences. To provide educational experiences within the natural environment where youth will be able to gain a greater knowledge of themselves, the world, and the environment around them.

To establish relationships with schools and other social service agencies so that referrals can be made for "at-risk" youth to participate in these opportunities.”

“Lasting adventures continues to provide incredible 3-13 day adventures for youth throughout the yosemite backcountry. Through adventure based programming, participants are introduced to the necessary skills and attitudes for living successful lives, all while having fun, developing new friendships, and creating lasting memories. Our programs foster a life-long connection and respect for nature while increasing personal confidence through activities that challenge both physically and emotionally. Recently, lasting adventures was recognized by outside magazine for facilitating one of the best youth summer backpacking programs in the west. Lasting adventures utilizes adventure based programming at its foundation to benefit over 100 youths per summer while also providing scholarships for over 25% of participants. These programs are significant, challenging, supportive, and fun. Our top rated guide service in yosemite continues to provide experiences in nature to over 220 additional participants, many of which are participating in our family adventure programming. Our guide service continues to rate high in customer safety and satisfaction while providing the much needed revenue to help support our youth program. In 2013, despite the rim fire and government shut-down, we were happy to still realize continued growth.”
