Embrace Nature’s Embrace
Nature has an incredible ability to heal, inspire, and empower. Crossing the Divide Experience creates an immersive experience through wilderness programs that allows marginalized youth and others to reconnect with the natural world, and themselves. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, fresh air, and the rhythm of the wild, they embark on a profound journey of self-discovery.
Empowerment Through Adventure
We believe that adventure is a catalyst for personal growth. Our carefully designed wilderness programs offer exciting activities that challenge youth physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether it’s hiking through majestic forests, camping under starlit skies, or navigating thrilling outdoor obstacles, each adventure is an opportunity for our participants to push boundaries, build resilience, and develop essential life skills.
