Overview
Sawtooth Adventure Company’s Youth Adventure Programs are designed and influenced through Jared’s (SAC Owner) experience as a Lead Instructor for the University of Utah’s Outdoor Recreation Program & National Outdoor Leadership Instructor.
The goal of SAC’s Youth Adventure Programs is to offer leadership and educational opportunities for kids while participating in an adventurous wilderness experience.
