A Wilderness experience often strikes people at the core of their being. It has long been known to have a deep influence on people’s attitudes, opinions, feelings and behaviors. VWP has seen many young people undergo profound personal transformations, and over the years have heard from hundred who speak of its life changing impact. Wilderness experience can influence how we see the world and our lives within it. At VWP we think this is extremely important - It’s why we are committed to make this life-changing experience a reality. Join us in this important work.
"I have brought countless students through this Programme and the experience is one of the highlights they recall from their high school years. It isn't just a trip through wilderness; VWP gives it an educative, environmental message changing participants in a positive way. I've traveled all over the planet, to beautiful and meaningful places - yet none will ever rival my VWP Quetico trips for making me feel that I belong to the planet."
