There were so many successful things about my summer with Bold Earth! I made lifelong friendships, great bonds with my counselors and just had the best summer ever! I learned a lot of lessons, one of them being able to appreciate life more, and not take the little things for granted, like a sky full of stars or a beautiful view.
Daniel - New York, NY
Everything on the Epic Fiji Dive trip was handled excellently. The trip leaders were great, the activities were great, and the cultural immersion was great. Each was successful! All the activities we did were fantastic!
Sascha - Mamaroneck, NY

Elizabeth - Wilton, CT
Bold Earth is a great program. The activities, leaders, and campers on the Italy Greece trip were perfect. It was a smooth trip that was planned well. Your website and directors led me to the right trip!
Mattison - Fort Worth, TX
The whole Bold Europe trip was successful! I climbed mountains, rafted, saw amazing historical landmarks, biked on routes I didn't know I could, and I've never cried so hard of laughter together with all of my new best friends. Bold Earth definitely knows how to bring loads of fun to the trip, push everyone to their max, and create experiences that I could never forget.
Noah - Highland Park, IL
The staff was great and the Ultimate Hawaii trip absolutely breathtaking. The trip was exciting and in its entirety was a fantastic experience. It was by far the best summer of my life!
Jacqueline - Lafayette, CO
Boot Saddle Paddle was very successful. Everyone was very nice and accepting. Each part of the trip met or exceeded my expectations. All other campers seemed physically prepared for the trip. I loved how both Trip Leaders were very trusting of us and gave us a lot of responsibility.
Jordan - New York, NY
My Epic Africa summer with Bold Earth was completely successful. I had fun, learned a lot, and I experienced tons of new things and new cultures. I had a fantastic experience.
Mikiel - New York, NY
Every aspect of Mikiel's Bold Earth experience was successful. She had an absolutely fabulous, life-changing trip and I don't think there's anything that should have gone differently. Sean and Sarah were fantastic guides. They were encouraging and supportive of each person regardless of their abilities. This "outdoor" event was very new for Mikiel and as a result of Sean and Sarah's acceptance of her, Mikiel pushed herself to her limit.
Gabriel - Aventura, FL
The Kayak Climb Colorado trip was super successful! I had an amazing time.
Alex - Keene, NH
My overall experience was great. The "counselors" became more than just trip leaders, they were one of us. The Alaska scenery and weather were exceptional. Both sea kayaking and ice climbing were very enjoyable. Our needs were well met. Ultimate Alaska is perfect for those who want a taste of backpacking and other wilderness-oriented sports. The trip gave me a real taste of what the Alaskan wilderness is like.
Aliana - Miami, FL
I loved my entire Italy Greece trip! All of the activities, destinations and campers were amazing!
Jason - Schaumburg, IL
Kayak Climb Colorado was the most amazing experience of my life. I learned so much and I'm such a happier person. I will go on another adventure next summer, no doubt.
Brett - Bethesda, MD
My summer with Bold Earth was 100% successful! I learned a lot about Africa, I made incredible friends, and I was able to help out the local communities. I couldn't have asked for a better trip leader than Allison. She was more of a friend than a trip leader and if it wasn't for her, my summer would have been a lot less fun!
Nikki - Studio City, CA
My Epic Africa trip was a lot of fun. I met a lot of great people and long-lasting friends. I loved all of the activities we did on the trip. My favorite thing we that we did was go on the safari's. Everything was amazing!
Grace - Boulder, CO
My Ultimate Hawaii trip was an experience that I will always remember and I took so much from it. The group was great and we all got along, the organization of activities was great and we had such a good time.
Henry James - Weston, CT
I had an amazing time with Bold Earth. This was probably my best summer to date! Not just for the places and adventures we experienced but also for the amazing guides and especially people who were on this trip. I loved Boot Saddle Paddle and it was an amazing time.
Lauren - Foxborough, MA
Everyone in my group got along with each other and the leaders. All of the activities kept us interested. I've made so many great friends that I will never forget. Bold West was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to do it. I plan on doing another trip next year! Thank you Bold Earth!
Paige - Short Hills, NJ
I had the most amazing time in Peru. The places we went were all interesting, the activities were challenging but fun, and the Bold Earth trip leaders were supportive and friendly.
Igor - Alsace, France
Everything was wonderful with Bold Earth! Every single experience and every single challenge on my Bold West trip!
Michael - Basking Ridge, NJ
My experience as a parent was great. Communication with Bold Earth was constant, and I was well informed about Gabriel. I liked that the counselors had direct contact with me before and during the trip. I was even more pleased when Gabriel came home and saw him so happy. Thanks to the entire team for helping my son have such a wonderful summer. We are looking forward to seeing you next year!
Bailey - Tustin, CA
I had the time of my life this summer on the Amazon Machu Picchu trip! Everything was successful. The group of kids and leaders were amazing! I never would have thought that the people on the trip would end up being the main part, but they did and it was great! I loved getting the chance to see so many different parts of the country and to really spend time getting to know local people as well!
Kevin - Roosevelt, NJ
My trip with Bold Earth was successful because it pushed me to do things I didn't think I could do. I felt very accomplished after learning how to rock climb and kayak.  I learned the value of taking care of our natural resources so that all people can enjoy them.
Kaitlin - Yardley, PA
Before coming on the Spain Adventure trip, my Spanish speaking skills needed lots of work. I knew it all on paper, but that wasn't an effective way of communicating in a different language. Through the many different experiences and things I encountered while on my trip, I have improved in my vocabulary in general, but mostly in my speech. Learning to speak was my original goal and reason for signing up for the Bold Earth trip, and it was successful.
