Yesterday our Leadership campers kayaked the Snake River Canyon to complete their final challenge of their camper years! Tonight they graduate to become JETs 🥲. Congrats on 4 amazing years to this cohort!

Thanks to our amazing partner! @rendezvousriversports

Congratulations to JETs Desahray, Leon, and long time staff Billie for their summit of the Grand Teton on August 7! 🎉🎉🎉

This strong team trained and hiked through storms, cold weather, and relied on each other to make it the top. We couldn’t be prouder! ❤️

It’s out the back gate for leadership solos!!! Leadership campers have been prepping for years for this 24 hour experience!

Just another beautiful night at Broken Arrow captured by CK legend Montae!
