What age are Overland trips for?
Overland trips are designed for students in grades 4 through 12. Programs are thoughtfully tailored by age group to ensure appropriate challenge, support, and adventure. Whether your child is in elementary school, middle school, or high school, there’s a trip that meets them where they are—socially, emotionally, and physically.
Are the trips safe?
Yes. Safety is our top priority. Trips are professionally managed, with well-trained leaders and proven safety protocols. With 40 years of experience, Overland prioritizes safety in every aspect of its programs. Each trip is led by carefully selected and trained leaders, and every itinerary is designed with age-appropriate challenges, reliable communication systems, and detailed support from the year-round Overland team.
What makes Overland different from camp?
Overland is more than a camp. It is a journey built around adventure, leadership, and personal growth. Unlike traditional camps that stay in one place, Overland trips take students into the world through small-group, screen-free experiences. Each trip is designed to build independence, foster strong peer connections, and provide meaningful challenges. Led by exceptional role models, Overland focuses on character, teamwork, and lasting impact.
Are phones allowed?
No. Overland is intentionally screen-free to help students engage fully with their group, environment, and experience.
