Full year Adventure Series

We aim to move past the "once in a lifetime" experience of traditional outdoor education and promote replicability by getting youth on multiple adventures throughout the school year as close to their local communities as possible. We focus on building the confidence to access local public nature space. A full year of adventures would include team building, 3 hikes, outdoor rock climbing, and a campout.

One-Time Adventures:

Hiking: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced hikes available. These adventures focus on learning about the Sonoran Desert and local ecology as well as gaining confidence in accessing local nature spaces and disconnecting from technology.

Rock Climbing: Introductory rock climbing experience focused on developing confidence. This is a great opportunity for team building and social-emotional development. All gear is provided and no experience is necessary.

Camping: Front country camping trip. This trip focuses on developing leadership and gives opportunities for experiential learning. This is a great chance to get youth to disconnect. All gear and food is provided.
