Vermont Multi-Sport



Lots of activities plus Vermont! Hard to beat it!
MODERATE BIKING PLUS RAFTING, TRAIL RIDING, KAYAKING, MOUNTAIN BIKING      18 DAYS
Trip #VTM

You won't be bored on this trip!

Vermont Multi-Sport combines the best of our Vermont trip with new challenges! Whitewater rafting jump-starts this trip as professional guides lead you through exciting Zoar Gap, along the unspoiled river valley, to a state park for a picnic lunch. Enjoy a quick swim as you raft back to base! Off to Vermont, and as your group cycles through Vermont's winding green valleys, there will be more places to cool off – in a swimming hole, waterfall or even rope-swinging into the river under a covered bridge! Build confidence and team spirit as you try a zip line or high and low ropes, traversing from tree to tree.


You saddle-up to explore the spectacular mountain views, lush pastures, and deep forest paths on horseback. In Killington, your group will ride the gondola to the mountaintop, camp on the lake shore, hike some of the many trails, or play Frisbee in an alpine meadow. One afternoon, you will go canoeing down a pristine stretch of the Connecticut River. This activity-filled trip concludes in picturesque Hanover, New Hampshire where your group will explore Dartmouth College and relax. Vermont Multi-Sport promises energetic fun and adventure!

“Jason had a wonderful experience on the WES-1 trip last summer. He was home five days and went on a 10 day canoe trip in the Adirondacks. He was packed and organized for that in hours and needed no reminders. In fact, since his SHP experience he has needed very little direction from us. He joined the cross country team and hopes to join the cross country ski team this winter. He has learned to appreciate how important physical exercise is to his well being. He also hopes to maintain his shape for next summer’s trip. He enjoyed Dennis and Katie tremendously. They must be outstanding leaders! Thank you for providing such an enriching summer experience for our son. There is no doubt it changed his life!”
