Hello Everyone!
Throughout my life I have always held true to my passions, fought for what I believe in, and worked hard for my dreams to come true. I am currently a senior in high school and half a year ago I learned of Kroka Expeditions. After extensive research on their Winter Semester , I knew it was for me. I applied and am now accepted into the semester and plan to attend it!
The Winter Expedition begins at the New Hampshire base camp for training and preparation with a small team of other inspiring young adults. From there, our group will ski and snowshoe our way through the Green Mountains, Park National De La Gaspésie, and Uapishka Mountains, carrying everything we need on our backs and traveling for a couple months in Vermont and Canadian wilderness. The next leg of the trip consists of canoeing down the Hudson river for 30 days until we reach New York. In New York, our group will be conducting service work through the New York City Composting Project. For the last leg of the expedition, we jump on mountain bikes and head back to the New Hampshire base camp. Back at base camp, we will spend two weeks conducting service work in the close community. The entire expedition takes place over 5 months, from January til June, and covers over 500 miles.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Through the expedition, I will have the chance to learn many new outdoor skills, build on my teamwork and leadership qualities, grow my ability to advocate for the environment and social justice issues, becoming closer to the land, and blossom into an empowered young woman. I will also have the opportunity to earn up to 16 accredited college credits to use at any of my chosen colleges.
Kroka Expeditions is an inspiring non-profit organization that works hard to make their semesters accessible no matter what your financial background is. However, it is a non-profit with only an extended amount of funding so I am on my own to come up with the large tuition cost. I have worked full time for the past three summers and have been spending lots of time contacting organizations asking for financial aid and applying to scholarships. I am still working to be able afford the semester and I would greatly appreciate absolutely any contributions you can give!
