Breakwater is a trusted leader in guiding transformative, therapeutic, and custom wilderness journeys. Our teen trips foster meaningful growth—where nature, challenge, and connection come together. Teens unplug from distractions and step into wild spaces with peers to build teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence. These are more than trips—they’re launchpads for adaptability, strength, and friendships that last well beyond summer.
Our Ocean Odyssey trip is designed for youth ages 13–17 who are ready to unplug, explore, and grow. Whether your teen is outgoing or more reserved, experienced in the outdoors or brand new to adventure—our programming meets them where they are and helps them thrive.
Imagine paddling along the evergreen cloaked coastlines of the Pacific Northwest’s San Juan Islands and being surrounded by snowcapped mountains in virtually every direction. Our destination will allow us to listen to the graceful blows of foraging porpoise passing by and watch as a bald eagle glides peacefully overhead against the evening sky. The San Juan Islands are the hidden gems of the Pacific Northwest because of the great weather, clear deep waters, clean and unpopulated beaches, and the abundance of wildlife within the inner network of Lopez and Orcas Island.
How does it work? We take care of all logistics—from gear and meals to permits and transportation during the trip. Our guides are trained in wilderness medicine, group facilitation, and youth development. We maintain a low staff-to-student ratio to ensure personalized attention, strong group dynamics, and safety at every step.
