About Kroka expeditions
Kroka Expeditions: A Non-Profit Wilderness Expedition School
Kroka Expeditions is a non-profit wilderness expedition school based on a year-round, organic farm in Marlow, New Hampshire. The school offers outdoor education programs for children and young adults that focus on personal growth, community building, and environmental stewardship.
Founded in 1996 by Misha Golfman and Lynne Boudreau, Kroka Expeditions has been providing transformative experiences to students from all over the world for over two decades. The school's philosophy is rooted in the belief that nature is the best teacher and that immersion in the natural world can help individuals develop resilience, self-awareness, and empathy.
The programs offered by Kroka Expeditions are designed to challenge students physically, mentally, and emotionally. From backpacking trips through the White Mountains to canoe expeditions down remote rivers to sustainable living courses on their farm campus - each program is carefully crafted to provide a unique learning experience.
One of the things that sets Kroka Expeditions apart from other outdoor education programs is their commitment to sustainability. The school operates on an off-grid solar-powered system and practices regenerative agriculture techniques on their farm. Students learn about permaculture design principles as well as how to grow food using organic methods.
Kroka Expeditions also places a strong emphasis on community building. Students live together in small groups during expeditions which fosters teamwork skills as well as social-emotional development. The school also hosts events throughout the year such as contra dances and potlucks which bring together alumni, staff members, and local residents.
In addition to their regular programming for youth ages 9-22 years old (including gap year options), Kroka offers adult courses including wilderness first aid certification courses (WFA) & wilderness first responder certification courses (WFR). These certifications are highly respected within outdoor industries such as guiding or search & rescue teams.
Overall Kroka expeditions provides an unparalleled opportunity for individuals seeking personal growth through immersive experiences with nature while learning valuable life skills along with it!
