PROGRAM PHOTO ALBUM
Thanks for the checking out the blog for this Global Leadership Adventures program!
Here are a few things to know and expect:
- Blog posts are written by onsite program staff and/or students and sent to our Headquarters team who will post the blog on this page.
- We typically receive 2-3 blog updates per week from each program, so please don’t be alarmed if you don’t see a blog post every day – that’s totally normal.
- Blog updates received late in the evening or overnight will be posted the following day.
- Blog updates received on weekends may not be posted until Monday.
- Due to many factors such as internet accessibility, program staff aren’t always able to send photos, so some blog posts may contain text only.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we hope you enjoy following along on these unforgettable adventures.

BLOG POST FOR JULY 9
After a long day at the airport yesterday, we have all arrived at home base in Moab! We had to split up the group because of delayed flights, but we are all together now! After getting situated at the hotel and having a quick break, the students that arrived earlier last night played the game Human Knot. We had a bit of fun at sunset before getting some announcements and heading to bed for the night. The rest of our crew arrived this morning and today, we’re doing a few hours of orientation, then are heading out to Arches National Park this afternoon for a hike! Service projects are coming up tomorrow before we launch on the Colorado River in a few days.

BLOG POST FOR JULY 10
Yesterday we hiked down the Devil’s Garden Loop Trail for about 3 hours. Beautiful scenery. Excellent hike. Nice trail, just all around fun trip. Good people to be there with and amazing guides. After an early start to the day and a amazing breakfast, we headed on over to Miner’s Basin and La Sals (an incredible mountain range near Moab). We picked up some barbed wire fence and help cleaned up a property that wasn’t supposed to be built in the National Forest. Worked with a Forest Service ranger named Jared, who was a really cool guy and gave us some good advice. After dinner we headed over to CFI to go get gear for the river! We are preparing to pack today and tomorrow for the river Saturday.

Yesterday we did a ton of service! We worked with the Youth Garden Project, clearing spaces of weeds and brush to make room for more garden space. We even got to meet some of the local chickens! In the afternoon, we worked with Community Builds, moving materials from their job site back to their headquarters for a new build! After a relaxed evening and some packing, we are launching on the Colorado River this morning! Everyone is very excited.
Just a reminder to everyone back home, we won’t have service for the next 4 days while we are on the water!! We’ll be sure to take lots of pictures and share them with you all once we get back.
See you after some epic rafting!
