Discover the Transformative Power of People and Place

Wilderness and Cultural Immersion in the Heart of the Southwest

For over 40 years, Deer Hill has provided nature-based programs in the most awe-inspiring river, mountain, and canyon environments of the American Southwest. We believe that time spent in wilderness and different cultural contexts inspires wonder, curiosity, and insight. We know that authentic connection to self, others, and the natural world enriches lives and creates dynamic, joyful, and inclusive friendships and communities. We’ve seen that challenge supports self-discovery, confidence, and compassion.

“What young people need today is not information but experiences.”

-Jonathan Haidt

"…best three weeks of my life. I felt mentally and physically stronger and more independent. I met incredible people and built friendships that I will never forget. Now that I have conquered the hardships during the trip, I believe in myself. Finding myself in the middle of nowhere was amazing!”
