We have introduced hundreds of people to adventure activities and helped them develop skills that will help them reach their goals. Part of our mission is to teach these skills and also to help them discover a sense of responsibility for what they do and for the wildlands which they use. Our caring staff will go above and beyond to help you gain this appreciation and reach new heights.

Our Mission
To teach and promote safe and responsible outdoor skills through progression, experience and respect for our natural environment.

About the Program
Since 1998, the Adventure Pursuits program has worked with both YMCA members and program participants to provide new experiences ranging from technical skills to personal growth and development. With our onsite facilities and nature as the classroom, participants learn such concepts as trust, communications, and abstract problem solving while learning new skills and having fun along the way. Whether it be on our low ropes course, at the Summit Climbing Center, on an expedition, or when taking a class, we aim to provide an experience that you won't soon forget.

Safety
The Adventure Pursuits program focuses on the highest level of safety and quality. By using high quality equipment and having trained leaders, we are able to minimize many risks associated with our program; however, all outdoor activities have inherent risk and participants should be aware and have an understanding of such factors. Skill and experience has helped us maintain an excellent safety record. Our tip leaders are all certified wilderness first aid providers and have a high level of expertise and training in each of the areas which they instruct.
