We woke up at 8 o’clock, and we ate oatmeal like usual. The day started like most days start. We started off on our bikes going pretty fast. After 22 miles, we crossed the border with style, with talent and grace. We made the best picture in teen treks history. We continued on with locals […]
After a nice sleep in, we started off our day at the Gravensteen Castle and its interesting (and creepy) torture museum. We wandered the cobblestone streets of Ghent to a flea market, a graffiti filled street, and then onto lunch—Andy and Henry’s first veggie burgers. Feeling a bit tuckered, we all took naps at the […]
I never thought in a million years that I would be excited to wake up at 6:55 in the middle of the summer. However, being apart of the Teen Treks family has me enjoying every moment, from dusk til dawn. The day started off great. I made a dozen eggs for my fellow campmates, of […]
We spent a magnificent day in Bruges, biking and walking along the cobblestone streets. Blog post by moi: We sampled Belgian waffles (denser and more buttery than their stateside counterpart), perused a farmers market (free samples of cheese and melons!), and saw centuries-old gothic architecture every way we turned.

Today we spent the day exploring Seattle and getting to know each other. We started off at the Pike Place Market before heading off to the Starbucks Coffee roastery. We meandered through the streets of the city and climbed up the very steep hill to Kerry Park. We came back to the hostel and our […]
We started out the day to beautiful weather as we finished the last oatmeal. We settled at a mold pace, as the day went on we were all thinking to Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and what we were going to get. Our counselor said we were going to get one of everything. I thought […]
The Pacific Northwest Trekkers met in Seattle to embark on their 400+ mile bike ride around the Puget Sound and British Columbia. The group of 12 cyclists will visit the San Juan Islands, the Canadian cities of Vancouver & Victoria, Olympic National Park where they will climb (on cycle 5,200 ft) Hurricane Ridge, and back […]
Today we were up very early so that we would be able to make our ferry across Lake George. However, the ferry ride was 2 hours later than we thought, so we played a cutthroat game of mini golf. Once on the boat, we spent a few hours learning about the deep history of Lake […]
