I had only met one person before this trip, so I showed up knowing almost no one. By the end of the week, I left with 26 friends.

Everything you're worried about.

I don't know a single person going.

Neither does anyone else. 95% of our travelers arrive solo. Your trip leaders fold you into the group from the first night.

Who's actually running this?

SYB trip leaders, trained through our own SYB Academy. We design and run every trip ourselves, no outsourcing. You just show up.

It's probably way out of my budget.

Trips start at $1,950 and cover your stay, daily activities, trip leaders and a pro photographer. Hold your spot with 20% down. The rest is due 6 weeks before you go.

I can't take that much time off.

Most trips are 5 or 6 nights. One week of PTO and you're back with a year's worth of stories.

I'm not fit enough for this.

If you can walk a few miles and you're up for trying things, you're good. Every activity scales: go full send or take the chill option.

Am I too old for this?

The median age is 35. Most guests are in their thirties, with a real spread from late twenties to mid forties.

What if they're not my kind of people?

4.9 from 300+ Google reviews, and 55% come back for another trip. Nobody books a second week with people they didn't like.

What if something comes up?

Cancel more than 45 days out and you get a one-time trip credit for what you paid, good for 12 months. Inside 45 days it's non-refundable. Travel and medical insurance is required.

Hear it from them.
