Every NOLS location offers an array of core courses and specializes in skills that take advantage of our unique locations. NOLS Teton Valley specializes in adventure courses for 14- and 15-year-old students, winter courses and water courses. West of the Continental Divide, we operate on one of the region’s most celebrated rivers and travel through a host of lesser known, but no less stunning, mountain ranges.
As the hub of NOLS’ adventure programs, we offer two weeks of hiking, four weeks of hiking and rafting, and a brand new 50-day expedition for those 14- and 15-year-olds ready for a summer with NOLS. We are also the home of NOLS’ winter ski program. Based in Driggs, Idaho, we are mere minutes away from our wilderness classroom, sitting snuggly against the base of the famed Tetons. This magnificent range, the mountains extending off its southern and western flanks, and nearby Grand Targhee Resort are renowned for deep powder snow and fantastic skiing and snowboarding.
In the summer, these same slopes come alive in a flurry of wildflowers, and NOLS Teton Valley turns its attention to a summer of backpacking and river exploration. The Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness lies to the northwest and is the Lower 48’s largest designated wilderness area. Sliced by the Salmon River, this area is home to our river courses and is known for exciting whitewater and excellent fishing.
On your NOLS Teton Valley course, your tools of exploration will be rafts and backpacks, skis or snowboards, and boots or climbing shoes. Discover the Old West with us in the vast backcountry of Idaho, Montana and western Wyoming as you also discover your own capabilities of leadership and learning.
