What Past Participants Have to Say

Best trips ever!
[The Denning's trips]are the best trips I've ever been on! Thank you so much! Ammon K Teen participant

This trip was life changing!
So, the list is pretty long:
I faced my fear of cliff jumping. I met great people and made good friends in just a week. I learned about many things such as philanthropy, small problems, and fitness. I changed my mindset to a more positive one. I discovered hobbies such as hiking, krav maga, parkour, and dancing. I learned skills such as dancing, one-armed pushups, cliff jumping form, hiking form (is that what it's called? The way you walk when you hike matters), etc. I learned how to set goals effectively and achieve them. And I learned, did, and lived so much more. I definitely recommend this trip to anyone. Nico P. Teen participant

This trip filled me
Love the memories. I'm heading home, full -- refueled. The reset was sorely needed. So grateful to you for all the planning and work to make this trip happen. And my daughter said the Denning kids are her true friends. Bill T. Adult participant
