In the past they have achieved national awards for their trips to Alqonquin Park, the Sleeping Giant, and the West Coast Trail.  Below are some brief trip summaries since going online in 2009.

In 2012, the youth hiked 4 mountains in the Adirondacks over 5 days.  As well several youth participated in the Baffin Expedition and SEVEC exchange with Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

In 2011, six youth kayaked in Georgian Bay for 14 days with the support of a sailboat for supplies.

              

In 2010, seven youth biked across PEI from Tip-to-Tip. Their Trip from North Cape to East point took a total of 12 days. Beforehand they had done several training trips in the area to get used to towing bike trailers and to train for their trip. They biked part of the distance along the confederation trail and the rest along roads. The entirety of the trip was planned and completed by the youth of the company alone. They planned several activities such as deep sea fishing, kayaking and visits to beaches and several museums and historic sites.
