A Unique Learning Experience in a Unique Environment

Whether Austin is a faraway destination for you or part of your own backyard, there is always something new to explore here. Central Texas is a natural wonder, rich in history and home to dozens of endangered species—many of which do not live anywhere else in the world. Your base camp will be The Crossings, where you will have ample opportunity to enjoy our property amenities and Wellness Spa every afternoon. Trust us—that's an unbeatable combination!

Kimery Duda’s base camp is Austin, Texas, but she'll be the first to tell you that her home is where her heart is: out in the field. She is committed to creating opportunities for people to experience adventure and education in a sustainable way.
