College-age and University Student Only Adventure
​
On this 5-Day/4-Night adventure, Mesa, AZ is the starting point, and Northern AZ is the centerpiece and home base of our Grand Canyon & Northern Arizona Adventure.
Top FIVE Reasons to Join This Adventure With Us!
​
1. New-found and like-minded friends and acquaintances. Just 12 participants are accepted for each course and adventure. Train, prep, and explore together. We act as a team.
2. THREE natural wonders with unique geological formations and breathtaking vistas at every turn. Accept the challenge to hike the Sonoran Desert, Red Rock Country & Grand Canyon. Plus, a few man-made wonders too!
​
3. Our entire adventure provides a sensory-rich environment. Vast open spaces, the sound of rushing water, the feel of the sun and desert breeze, and striking visual contrasts of colors and shapes as far as the eye can see.
​
4. College and adult life can be busy and overwhelming. There are ample opportunities to find quiet spots away from the crowds for introspection and peaceful reflection. Recharge!
​
5. Outdoors is calling. Adventure awaits. Experience most of it by foot. Challenge yourself and feel the rewards of accomplishment. Seek Adventure; Find Yourself.
​
Eligible students and young adults are required to successfully complete the Divergent Adventures virtual pre-trip 8-Week Adventure Education Course.
