About

Gateway Mountain Center

WE HELP KIDS FIND THEMSELVES IN NATURE, SO THEY CAN THRIVE AT HOME. Disconnection from self, family and community is a root cause of distress and anxiety. As the latest behavioral science confirms, nature itself provides a gateway to reconnection. We've channeled 40 years of elite mountain guiding and youth development into innovative nature-based programs that support young people from all backgrounds in living resilient, engaged and meaningful lives.

Our Core Programs:

Sierra Experience: Trailblazing environmental education featuring school field trips, summer camps, and custom group programs designed to help young people build connections with nature, themselves, and their communities.

4Roots Youth Wellness Center: Located in Truckee, CA. Our center hosts holistic wellness and recovery services to support individuals and groups in finding a fluid balance between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual (or meaning-making) facets of their lives.

Whole Hearts, Minds & Bodies: Clinically supervised, one-on-one, nature-based therapeutic mentoring services to support youth in building skills and learning emotional regulation while living at home, staying in school, and remaining in their community. Proven effective treatment for severe emotional disturbance, complex trauma, and substance dependence.

(Eastern Sierra Rock Climbing / Overnight)

When I explored the Eastern Sierra with Gateway I had an amazing time. Jared helped me a lot while climbing, and Tien was a great camp host. Since the camp I've grown a lot as a climber and feel more confident. The food was also great!

This was an absolutely "time of their lives" week for our boys - and for us parents who absorbed so much energy from them and the stuff. AMAZING staff, organization, energy - just incredible. We will 100% be back!
