The Trek At Missouri River High Adventure Base

The Trek is a seven-day camp. You will spend the first day and the following morning at base camp preparing for the trip. The next five days you will spend on the river. In-camp preparation will include Leave No Trace, History of the Mighty Mo, Endangered Species, Fossil Hunting, Lewis and Clark History, and Map/Compass/GPS instruction

This trek features lots of great food (no dehydrated rations), swimming, horseback riding, archery, tomahawk throwing, and other types of fun on the run. Each participant can keep of record of their training, discoveries and adventures in a leather-covered journal they will make at base camp.

We will be on The Southern Stretch (Yankton to Ponca - 53 miles)
This trek will include a day hike to Ionia Volcano and while on Goat Island you may try your hand at tomahawk throwing. As you float down the Mighty Mo, you will be introduced to historic locations pertaining to Lewis and Clark. You will pass the area where Shannon got lost, where the election of Patrick Gass took place (the first election west of the Mississippi), as well as many campsites used by Lewis and Clark

When you reach your final destination, Ponca State Park, you can swim, shoot archery or muskets, horseback ride, visit the new Interpretive Center, or just relax.
