Overview

Adventure Links designs single-day and overnight curriculum for groups exploring educational opportunities in the outdoors. With a philosophy rooted in experiential education, we value the journey as much as the goal.


"Whitman Middle School's National Junior Honor Society attended a two day leadership retreat at Hemlock Overlook... We had attended similar retreats at Hemlock over the past ten years, but this was our first experience with Adventure Links. It was honestly the very best experience we have ever had!"

-Peggy White - Whitman Middle School
