In February 2024, we will take teens and their parents or grandparents to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, go on safari, and encounter mountain gorillas. This is a 3-week trip in partnership with the Socratic Experience online school. We have a summer bootcamp in Colorado in early August. The for-credit class begins in September and runs through April.
Climb Kilimanjaro!
Families with children 12 and up will train together, get their gear together, and spend 7 nights on the mountain acclimatizing before the final summit day - a day no one will forget!
Go on safari in Kenya and Uganda
We will spend 13 nights in lodges and on safari, taking game drives, walking safari, visiting chimps and looking for predators hunting their prey. We’ll see flamingos, rhinos, and more elephants than we can count.
Study animals in their natural habitat
No zoo visits! We’ll learn about habitats, animals, and the people of East Africa. Photographers and videographers will work on getting the shot, while others will interview naturalists and observe animals up-close.
Hang out with mountain gorillas!
We will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be with mountain gorillas in their habitat, learn, and photograph these amazing animals.
“David knows Africa! His high-end expectations, organizational skills, and attention to detail made for a photographic safari to Namibia and Botswana I’ll remember for a lifetime.”

Colorado high-country bootcamp first week of August
This trip starts in Colorado on August 1st. We’ll pick you up in Denver, take you to Aspen for two nights, then we’ll spend four nights in Leadville hiking Colorado’s famed 14,000-foot peaks. This is easy hiking. All are welcome, even if you’re not coming to Africa.
The trip is an eight-month elective for school credit
In partnership with The Socratic Experience online school, students will work together for two hours each Wednesday, starting in early September. Students will study the habitats, animals, birds, insects, and people of East Africa. We’ll break into groups and prepare. We’ll learn from experts and people who have been there. Kids are already starting podcasts and training. After the trip, we’ll put all our media, images, sounds, and research learnings into a showcase reel that helps people understand what we did, why Africa is important, and how they can help.
We’ll be happy to work with your school to arrange credit.
