About Program
Trek Epic offers Gap Year counseling, planning and mentoring for students who want a more self-guided approach to their experience. This may include recommendations for any number of program options, as well as one of our 10-Day Treks. The 10-Day trek provides either a "Launch" or "Capstone" experience for students. Each of our walking adventures are uniquely facilitated to help students explore more of who they are and what they have to offer the world around them! Additionally, we provide Pilgrimages as an option for parents and older adults.
