Under Canvas West Yellowstone

I loved my experience with Adventure EXP and the job opportunity they were able to find for me at Under Canvas! I have done seasonal work before, and I had been itching to get out and do it again! This opportunity was absolutely perfect. I loved being able to travel to a new area and work in a very unique environment. I really enjoyed getting to explore the surrounding areas and getting into the local life!

One of the biggest takeaways and learning opportunities from this experience was definitely just how to manage adulting. I really had to figure out how to properly manage my money and time, which I feel like in the long run helped me out a lot! I know I will continue to use those skills for the rest of my life. I also got the chance to connect with new people from all over the world. Whether it was my coworkers or the guests that came to stay with us, it was so fun getting to meet all of those amazing people.

I highly recommend partnering with Adventure EXP and doing seasonal work! I know it has changed my life for the better!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I got to try huckleberries for the first time! I had no idea it was such a popular thing in Montana, but it was pretty good!

Best part of my gap year

During my gap year, I wanted to do more than just travel. I wanted to gain practical skills and earn money. AdventureEXP fit perfectly into my plans by offering a work opportunity in a beautiful mountain town in Colorado. I earned money and spent most of my days outside hanging with friends and got super into skiing. The experience was fun and I learned a lot about myself. The program's support was great which made the transition smooth and stress-free. I learned how to manage my finances, interact with a diverse group of people, and handle real-world challenges confidently. I also learned to speak up for myself which Im really proud of. AdventureEXP truly turned my gap year into a period of growth and discovery, making it an unforgettable chapter in my life.

Really Glad I Did This!

I decided to take a break from college and work at a ski resort for the season, and this life skills course was a huge help during that time. They break up the course into videos and provided me with a lot of tools that I plan to keep using in the future. I learned a lot about work The financial literacy section was incredibly useful since I’d never been good with money. Now, I can create a budget and manage my finances, which is a skill I desperately needed. The career planning modules also gave me a clear direction for my future. This course is a must for anyone who wants to gain practical skills and feel more confident about their next steps. I’m grateful I took this course!

Did this during my gap year

During my gap year, I did an outdoor leadership program first and then worked a job back in my hometown to save money and take a break from school. My counselor recommended I do this course while working because it would help me learn more skills while working at a coffee shop. She was 100% right. This course was one of the best decisions I made on my gap year. The course content was way more engaging than high school, with interactive videos and fun activities. The financial literacy section was a game-changer for me but I also really liked all of the stuff around mental and emotional health because that was another goal I wanted to work on during my gap year. I started meditating during my gap year too which was way harder than I thought it would be. The career planning modules were super helpful and I feel more prepared for college. This course is perfect for anyone who wants to make the most out of their gap year and feel more prepared for life. I'm so glad I took this course and learned these essential skills!

Really glad I did this while working this Spring

While juggling college and a part-time job, I took this life skills course, and it was really beneficial. I really like how the way they present the information isn’t how I learned in high school and they actually found a way to make it fun. There are lots of videos and stuff like that. The financial literacy section was really great because I feel like I have never really learned about how to manage money or even what to do with my money when I have it which I was actually embarrassed to ask about but they make it super comfortable to learn. I now know how to create and stick to a budget,, which is something I never thought I’d manage. The career planning modules were super helpful too. Seriously anyone could benefit from taking this course to feel more secure about their future! One of the instructors opened it up talking about that they try to teach stuff that they forgot to teach us in school which is exactly what i was thinking while doing it because I wish I had learned a lot of these topics earlier but Im glad I know them now.
