About this trip
This is a Family’s Journey designed for family members to reconnect together in nature. So much of our individual lives are busy, filled with responsibilities and distractions. Even as families, we can struggle to find the time to connect in a way that feels deeply satisfying or meaningful. This trip is designed for families to have an experience together that facilitates closeness, communication, and the creation of memories.
This uniquely choreographed journey through Prince William Sound, Alaska will assist you in finding rejuvenation through the connection with other families, the support and guidance by Hilary Moses, LCSW paired with peace and serenity that only nature can provide.
Imagine for a moment that you get to connect with your family as you paddle by ancient glacial ice and be completely unplugged from the pulls of technology. Look out into the sound for whales and wildlife as the crackling fire warms you at night. You will laugh, play, and rest. The landscape around you is ever-changing; it is time to replenish your cup with the awe that the glaciers of Alaska will inspire. You will leave this experience with your cup replenished and those empty spaces within you full of hope, love, and support.
This 7-day journey is powered by nature, paired with highly skilled guides and amazing programming facilitators. No experience is necessary. The trip is all-inclusive once you arrive at the starting location. Let these amazing facilitators and Breakwater Expeditions take care of your family; you will create life-long memories together.
