Adventure Program
"When I stood on top of the mountain, I felt all my stress and worries leave. I felt more peaceful than I have ever felt in my life. It was perfect -- more perfect than the movies and TV shows make it seem."
-17 year old Adventure Program participant’s journal entry after experiencing her first hike in nature.
During our Adventure Program youth participate in various outdoor activities (kayaking, biking, hiking, sailing, snorkeling, etc…) team-building skills, and a variety of learning experiences (REI Peak Presentation, participation in Heal the Bay Beach Clean ups, visits to Tide-pools, Aquariums, and the Ecostation, etc..). Each course also focuses on various topics in order to put youth on a track to lead a healthy, happy and successful life, while gaining an understanding and appreciation for the environment and the natural world they live in. Each program accepts 6-8 youth, keeping the group small so that each child has the opportunity to bond with their mentors and the opportunity to create life long relationships. The program is offered year-round and youth are encouraged to continue the program throughout the year.
