Breakwater Expeditions, based in Sandpoint, designs 1-2 week backcountry, water-based wilderness trips for teens ages 13-17, with no experience necessary. Teen adventures combine canoeing, sea kayaking, backpacking, rock climbing, and camping in destinations across the U.S. and beyond, in small groups. It also offers family trips; the teen programs are overnight expedition camps rather than local day camps.

★★★★★Miriam JanoveHad an amazing time on a Green River Canoe Expedition with Breakwater Expeditions! Amazing landscape views, guides who pointed out all the best sights, excellent food and quality gear. I look forward to traveling with them again!
★★★★★Shannon HillOur Green River paddle trip was absolutely incredible — truly a one-of-a-kind experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and so much fun. Our guide, Todd was amazing — knowledgeable, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable whether we were canoeing or paddle boarding. The views were absolutely gorgeous, and the starry night skies were unforgettable. The food was delicious (way beyond what I expected for a river trip!), and the group of ladies made it even more special — full of laughter, great conversations, and good vibes all around. I can’t recommend this adventure enough — I’ll be talking about it for a long time!
★★★★★Renee SearcyTodd was an amazing guide and cook extraordinaire on our recent Green River canoe trip. We did around 50 miles on the river on a 5 day/4 night excursion. Camping along the river under the stars was spectacular. I highly recommend going. I’ve traveled a lot and have done some incredible trips. This was by far one of my favorites.
★★★★★S CWhat an amazing experience with Breakwater Expeditions paddling and camping out on the Green River. Todd was awesome and the meals he prepared for us daily were the bomb!! I highly recommend them for your adventures.
★★★★★Scott HoodAngie was an outstanding guide and leader for our group. Her food was so good for the “backcountry” - Vanessa did a wonderful job with the yoga and mindfulness practices. Yellowstone was the star and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks so much!
