Great communication with parents since the beginning, routine phone calls to check up on us. Schedule clear and followed. My son's first experience camping and trekking long distances and thoroughly enjoyed it. Packing list is extensive for Alaska so prepare to spend some money if your kid does not do this occasionally.
