Breakwaters Family Vacations — Enriching the Innate Wellness of Your Family

It’s an old cliche but at Breakwater Expeditions, we believe that a family that plays together, stays together…in better ways!

Whether a family needs a celebration, bonding experience, or healing space during a crisis, Breakwater Expeditions provides a fun, inspiring, and supportive backdrop for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no matter what the circumstances are. Our voyages can be designed for an entire family or subset, and are highly valued for true bonding experiences that ensue once you’ve hit the wilderness! 

We do our best to provide a safe, nourishing environment where each participant is celebrated for their strengths and family members are encouraged to work together as a team, learning to bond as a stronger, better functioning system. 

Our adventures can take you off-grid—away from the distractions of daily life and technology—giving you a chance to rediscover the too-often forgotten gifts of play, humor, learning, and gratitude for one another. Not a camper? We have you covered there too. Let’s stay in a bed and adventure out from there. Our customization skills will cover the needs of the whole family.

Breakwater Expeditions’ team of highly skilled professionals and wilderness guides carefully develops exciting, personalized adventures, specifically designed to meet the needs of its participants; we also cover all the trip logistics so you can focus on what really matters, your family.

Your Guides and Family Mentors


Our team of guides and family mentors are gifted in meeting families where they are, supporting developing greater connection or individuation, as needed.

We are a team of educators, psychologists, social workers, coaches, and family counselors who have years of experience working with families in and out of wilderness settings. Just as Breakwater runs expeditions in a variety of locations, our Family Mentors live throughout the country. This makes for an exciting opportunity to either meet families in their neck of the woods or in a new environment such as the Green River in Utah or the San Juan Islands in Washington.

Wilderness adventures naturally support growth. Family Therapy Vacations are often staffed with therapeutic support. These take place within the states where our Family Mentors are licensed or registered. Some Family Therapy Vacations are non-clinical in nature and are supported by a coach or specialized professional with expertise relative to family goals. Family Mentors can support your family anywhere Breakwater Expeditions offers adventures. We team with you to determine which destination, itinerary, and team best fits your needs.
