Environmental Stewardship Overnight

ACTIVITIES:
AGES: 11-14
COST: $705

Go green this summer with Adventure Links! We’re taking all of the activities we love, and combining them with all the topics we care for in this action packed overnight. The outdoors not only provides us with a fun and rewarding place to participate in great adventure sports, but also a classroom for exciting natural lessons and inspiring challenges. Learn about alternative energy sources and sustainable living. Give back to nature with river and trail clean-ups. Throughout our various outdoor adventures we will be educating these youth in the choices and opportunity they have every day to make a difference and appreciate the natural world that we live in. 

Team Building - Sunday
Location: Adventure Links Base Camp
After everyone arrives we will dive right into to a day of challenging team building activities that will bring the group together and turn strangers into friends. Later this evening we will discuss packing, food and have dinner followed by a campfire!

Rock Climbing - Monday
Location: Stony Man, Shenandoah National Park
In the morning we pack up and hit the road towards our first destination, Stony Man Climbing area! We will spend the day learning about techniques and equipment while climbing! After we have had our fill we travel to a near by campsite for the evening.
