Trails Momentum was created to serve young adults with anxiety, depression, technological dependence, and other issues by helping them transition to independence, increase their confidence, and find new direction.

We help our students acquire new skills that will help them achieve success academically, in their personal relationships, and in other areas of life. Along the way, they’ll learn to engage with their environment, strengthen their sense of self, set goals for themselves, and be independent.

Tucked into the picturesque mountains of western Carolina, our 500 acre base camp features its own mountain lake and is near thriving Asheville. The Blue Ridge Mountains offer plenty to explore, from hundreds of waterfalls to beautiful seasons, hiking, paddling, climbing, and more.

Transitioning between base camp and the field offers students the ability to practice real life change in a supportive environment. While at Sky Valley, students reside with staff in one of the houses on campus.  Students participate in daily seminars on interpersonal communication and leadership as well as backcountry skills and techniques. This makes Trails Momentum a unique young adult adventure and wilderness therapy program on the east coast.
