Youth Programming

Transform your educational programming with curated, nature-based experiences that get students closer to the wild.

More Green Time, Less Screen Time.

Trade digital noise for real, outdoor discovery. We offer expert-led programs that build character, community, and a lifelong bond with the wild.

    Foster personal resilience and social engagement through shared outdoor challenges designed to build both individual confidence and communal awareness.

    Replace screen time with nature time, using the wilderness as a catalyst to improve mental well-being and help adolescents reconnect with the physical world.

    We instill a deep respect for the environment by teaching fundamental Leave No Trace principles, equipping young explorers to protect the trails they travel.

Experience-Based Learning

  • In-school Programming

    Participants will interact with their environment through exploring the outdoors via guided hikes, meditation, journaling, photography and other media.

  • Enrichment Programming

    We put together hiking and trail running programs that anyone can do, adjusted for time, experience and athleticism, to help build stronger hikers.

  • School Vacation Camps

    Guineafowl knows dozens of hikes locally and up in the White Mountains that are appropriate for kids of all ages.

  • Summer Camp Sessions

    Highly qualified guides accompany you from start to finish. All of our guides are CPR/AED/First Aid certified and Wilderness First Aid certified.

  • Day Hikes

    Explore the wilderness with a like-minded group of adventurers. Make real connections to nature and your fellow humans within a social setting.

  • Multi-Day Traverses

    Learn camping, cooking, and overnight trekking for kids starting as early as 6th grade.

Trusted Program Partners

It has been a pleasure collaborating with the staff at Guineafowl Adventure. Our students have had the incredible opportunity to explore nature through hiking, creating memorable experiences, and fostering meaningful connections.

Richelle K. Smith
METCO Director | Arlington METCO Program

Our students felt comfortable and safe around their staff, which was crucial for us and the success of our students. We were able to meet and exceed our goals with our partnership with Guineafowl Adventure Company and highly recommend them for future outdoor education youth services.

Sophie Gould

This partnership has allowed ACE to truly explore new heights for students of all ages. Outdoor exploration is a vital ingredient for daily life, especially for youth. David’s programs are not only about getting outside; they also encourage students to work together to tackle a common goal.

Students grew their awareness and appreciation of nature, as well as their self-confidence to succeed in challenging outdoor environments. We’re really happy with the program so far and would highly recommend them to anyone!
