In TeamTreks: Glacier Bay, players join three teammates to earn their TeamTreks Kayak Certification. They’re flown in and dropped off near Glacier Bay, Alaska. They need to navigate back to the TeamTreks cabin before someone calls a rescue. They develop essential "real-life" skills: gathering information, applying knowledge, analyzing situations, and making decisions. They hone their skills in teamwork and decision-making, map-reading and navigation, reading comprehension, mathematics, life sciences, and history.
