(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, October 10, 2012 ) JACKSON, Wyo. – For the last four decades, Wilderness Ventures has provided young travelers life-altering experiences in some of the world's most magnificent outdoor settings. From their roots in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone all the way to their international service trips in South America and cultural immersion trips in Europe, Wilderness Ventures looks forward offering these magnificent teen adventure camps to students for many years beyond this milestone.
Wilderness Ventures’ unwavering values of community, inter-personal growth, wholesome environments, safety, wilderness education, discovery, conservation, and exploration have led to their unmatched and trusted reputation. It’s comforting for families to know that Wilderness Ventures has pioneered outdoor adventures for young adults and has paved the way for youth travel around the world.

Among their many accolades, Wilderness Ventures became the first teen wilderness travel program for young adults to venture in to the ancestral homeland of the Mangarrayi aboriginal people in Australia and was the first and only wilderness travel program for young adults to be awarded a concession license in Grand Teton National Park.
