A summer without AT is not a summer at all. Adventure Treks is pure magic... Children get an
opportunity to be just that—children, within a structure premised on safety, respect, community,
acceptance, and fun. The selection of destinations, peers, instructors, food, activities, etc. have large
doses of thought and care and love. This summer was the best escape from the pandemic.” Sanjani
