What is "Adventure"?
We define adventure as the following:
"The process of subjecting oneself to controlled risks in order to achieve a positive outcome."
This can take many forms:
- A young family’s first night in a tent
- RISK: Bears could eat the whole family
- REWARD: After a harrowing night of bear-avoidance, they grew closer together as a familial unit
- A group of coworkers participating in intense trust-building exercises
- RISK: Trust could be broken and a short fall could occur or emotional vulnerability taken advantage of
- REWARD: Group bonding and closeness
- Elementary students learning about the natural world around them
- RISK: All of the class could get poison ivy
- REWARD: The students come to greater appreciation of nature and the beauty of being outside
- High school students forming bonds through low-ropes team building challenges
- RISK: Falling off of an element 1-2 feet off of the ground… or worse, they could miss a text from their friends!
- REWARD: They form team bonds and friendships that last far after their phone battery dies
