The Problem
Most Trek Leaders Are Called Before They Feel Ready.
A Trek Director can see the problems, the responsibilities, and the hundreds of details demanding attention. But at first, it can be hard to see the actual trek.
An unforgettable trek does not happen by accident. It happens when food, water, transportation, trek registration, family assignments, activities, medical planning, emergency planning, clothing, equipment, route planning, training, and communications come together exactly as they should.
