Looking for an unforgettable spring break adventure?

Join us March 8–13 as we backpack through the otherworldly landscapes of Death Valley National Park and climb the iconic red sandstone walls of Red Rock Canyon! From painted badlands to some of the clearest night skies in the country, you’ll experience the Mojave Desert at its most breathtaking.

This trip includes multi-day backpacking, rock climbing, and time to explore one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. Because of the physical demands of backpacking, prior hiking experience is recommended—but a sense of adventure is required.

Spots are limited. Don’t just take a break—take it outside. Check out our website for more information!

Registration deadline: February 7th, 2026
Please contact Lizzy Buckholt with any questions at dbuckhol@kent.edu Pre-registration IS REQUIRED.
