Adventure Clubs

Working closely with faculty and staff, we form and facilitate Adventure Clubs in local schools. Each club typically has 20 youth members who are referred by school administrators and counselors. Students meet weekly after school and participate in monthly outdoor trips.

At their weekly meetings, they help plan their trips and participate in enrichment activities such as first-aid training, yoga, martial arts, and art projects, as well as environmental stewardship projects, like beach and canyon clean-ups. Through their membership, the students develop strong bonds with their peers that encourage commitment to the club and dedication to creating a positive group environment.

They also receive strong, consistent support and structure from their adult leaders, which enriches their club experience and promotes a healthy sense of self and accomplishment. Club members develop as individuals, strengthen their teamwork skills and gain micro-enterprise experience as well since each club hosts fundraisers to offset a portion of their costs. We currently facilitate three Adventure Clubs.
