TREKKERS
Trekkers is an extension of UrbanPromise’s StreetLeader Program — it seeks to complement our highly successful academic initiatives with outside expeditionary learning opportunities.
We believe education requires motivation — an awakening of the childlike curiosity that is part of human nature. Trekker trips are designed to motivate students to learn from their outdoor experiences and carry that motivation back into their studies. Activities are designed to help develop students’ skills in teamwork, leadership, and decision-making.
The Six Key Elements of Trekkers are:
Community Service
Cross-Cultural Experiences
Environmental Awareness
Historical Perspective
Leadership & Teambuilding
Outdoor Adventure

“I love the outdoors and have worked at high adventure camps during many summers of my life, so I’m excited to see our StreetLeaders engage in trips that challenge the way they see and think about the world. Let’s go Trekking!”
“I love being in the outdoors, and really see and feel God’s creation and presence there. I want everyone to be able to have those experiences, and UrbanTrekkers fits so well with the overall Urban Promise program!”
