The Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota are a pristine snow outdoor territory with over 1 million acres of untouched wilderness, and one of North America’s most beautiful and remote places. Explore this special area by dog sled and cross-country skis as part of the Recovery Beyond Expedition Team. You will learn the necessary skills to dog sled and cross-country ski, as well as care for the dogs, snow camp, pack, chop wood, cook, tie knots, and safety survival skills in cold temperatures.
Recovery Beyond is committed to financial accessibility. The large majority of travel and expedition expenses are paid for, including airplane tickets, lodging, food, and most of the gear.
An extraordinary opportunity – gain experience with wilderness travel, develop outdoor skills, and learn about yourself.
Individuals keen to join must attend an interest meeting on June 22nd. The process will then continue with tryouts throughout the summer. These include various training adventures, physical conditioning goals, and an interview process in the final rounds of selection. The Expedition Team will be announced on September 29th.
The 2023 Audacious Annual Expedition will introduce adventure skills, promote teamwork and leadership, and build character through challenging experiences in the outdoors. This expedition provides an extraordinary opportunity for participants to have a deeper understanding of themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as how they interact with others as a team.

About Recovery Beyond
Since 2011, Recovery Beyond has been developing a new approach to support people in their recovery journeys. Recovery isn’t finite: long-term support and structure are needed for sustained success. Recovery Beyond’s peer-driven model works in partnership with treatment programs and community partners to provide additional, critical success factors for long-term recovery:
1.) Health – tools for learning to manage the symptoms of substance use disorder and making positive behavioral choices
2.) Purpose – meaningful activities that allow exploration of interests and development of life goals
3.) Community – a network of recovering individuals and their allies who offer support, encouragement, and hope.
