Wilderness and Creative Journeys and Retreats

Sila Sojourns specializes in custom-designed hiking, boating and skiing trips, from one day to two weeks in length. These are for readymade groups of friends, family or colleagues. Feel free to contact us with your ideas, and we can design a sojourn suited to your needs, interests and time frame. All of our journeys are adventure and natural history focused, and some have an additional focus as well. THIS SEASON WE ARE RESERVING JUNE AND JULY FOR CUSTOM-DESIGNED TRIPS (designed by us for your readymade group)

Each year we also offer a few scheduled trips and retreats for general sign up.
