Since 1919, Three Corner Round has operated a summer expedition for teenage boys, offering adventure, friendships, and life-changing experiences. Boys spend 6 to 8 weeks in the Sierra backcountry, taking care of themselves and others in the group- a one-of-a-kind summer experience!
The Sierra Nevada range is a giant living classroom in which to learn geology, astronomy, botany, and much more. Three Corner Round's educational curriculum also includes safety and hygiene while living in the mountains.
Three Corner Round spends most of the summer in the majestic Sierra Nevada backcountry, often camping among the high peaks above 10,000 feet. Activities include mountain climbing, fishing, and exploring - all far away from cell phones!
Three Corner Round uses donkeys (also called burros) to carry equipment and enough food to spend an entire summer in the backcountry. Taking care of the donkeys is a core piece of the boys' responsibilities during the expedition. A big part of what makes Three Corner Round so unique!
As part of a close-knit team, boys take on big responsibilities, such as cooking for a group of 10 people and maintaining and repairing equipment. Each boy is trained and supported by experienced leaders, held accountable for their actions, and given progressively greater levels of responsibility. Boys who return for multiple expeditions have the opportunity to become leaders of the expedition.
