Expeditions (Ages 11 - 15)

Are you looking for an exciting outdoor experience? Let Cosby Expeditions take you to it! Cosby Expeditions are specially designed for children from the age of 11 through 15.

Cosby Expeditions travel all over the Southeast. Our highly qualified trip leaders provide each child with a safe outdoor adventure. The Cosby Expeditions will be something a child will remember for the rest of his or her life! Each trip is different, but all incorporate outdoor survival skills as part of each child’s learning.
