The Mountain Center is excited to present the Summer 2025 Teen Adventure Program, open to New Mexico youth, ages 13 - 17. This year, we’ll be offering three sessions, each with a different focus: Whitewater Rafting, Rock Climbing, or Backpacking. Participants can expect to practice technical skills in these activities, while developing a variety of tools useful for navigating the challenges of everyday life, including relationship-building, leadership, and self-esteem. Each session is comprised of five day programs and a 3-4 day overnight camping trip.

HOW IT'S PAID FOR

If you are able, we encourage you to support The Mountain Center, in any amount possible. You can make a one time donation, or partner with TMC and sign up for an automated monthly donation. 

We accept cash and check donations in the main office.
