Adventure Experience Days

Although each program is custom-designed, please check out the following two models for youth and college programming.

Game and initiative adventure experiences

Project Adventure's activities, games, and initiatives are designed for learning and FUN! Using "props"—fleece balls, tossable stuffed animals, blindfolds, beach balls, and other tested Project Adventure problem-solving kits—these activities give participants the chance to experience the positive benefits of working with others.

  • The valuing of each members input to building community
  • The importance of having fun and group cohesion
  • The development of asupport network
  • The enjoyment of appropriate competition and cooperative play
  • The opportunity to practice working towards goals

Project Adventure works with all groups to provide an inclusive environment. We encourage each participant to choose his or her own level of challenge, physically and emotionally.

Adventure Experiences on the Challenge Course provide participants an opportunity to go beyond their pre-conceived limitations. Groups engage in a series of activities to promote the individual abilities of each participant. Individual and group success is achieved through peer support and encouragement, not physical strength.

While a significant portion of the program involves team building, similar to the Game and Initiative Adventure Experiences (see description), the focus of the Challenge Course portion is individual achievement with group support.

  • The exhilaration of challenging oneself
  • The improvement of self-esteem and confidence
  • The accomplishment of well-made goals
  • The safety of supportive environment
  • The opportunity to practice appropriate choice-making

Testimonials
"I did so much I never would have if PA hadn't helped and encouraged me."

"I'd like to share with you right away how impressed the faculty is with your staff. The faculty made a point of commenting on the PA facilitators' patience with and respect toward the students."
