Why join a team?
Adventure Teams are organized school groups of girls ages 11-17 who meet regularly to enjoy outdoor activities and meaningful experiences.
Teams are designed to encourage connection, learning, and fun in a safe, supportive environment.
For three months, your child will:
Participate in monthly hikes to explore nature’s beauty.
Engage in enriching activities like yoga, journaling, and indoor climbing.
Make a difference with service projects that teach responsibility and community care.
Build lifelong friendships with peers who share a love for adventure.

Twice a month. One team. Endless confidence.
