WELCOME
The Outdoor Adventure Program is an organized outfitter that allows you to sit back, relax, and let us do all the planning for you. We have dozens of activities that are exciting, challenging and educational. Here at the Outdoor Adventure Program we provide leadership, information and educational experiences for many trips each month. If you can’t find a friend to go with, don’t worry, many participants sign up by themselves just so they can meet new people while enjoying nature. Many participants have developed friendships that have lasted well after the trip is over. All outings, unless otherwise specified, are suitable for beginners.
