THE ADVENTURES
BACKPACKING
The challenges and simplicity of backpacking are great teachers and the High country is an inspiring classroom. Learning to pack, carry and use what you need to live in the mountains for 3 or 4 days will be part of your Pursuit experience.
CLIMBING
An intense activity for mind and body, climbing plants many truths deep into life. We begin with the basics and build skills, trust and proficiency. Climbing is not for everyone and the enjoyment of it is not forced - but we DO climb! First timers and seasoned climbers will both benefit from our encouraging approach. Most things that grow us also stretch us. Climbing is good at that!
MOUNTAIN BIKING
This adventure activity is an amazing way to combine time in the outdoors with something exhilarating and great for cardio fitness. Many kids do not grow up riding bikes much anymore so this is a great reintroduction to one of life's simple, joy producers! We begin where you are and build on your skills and abilities in an encouraging and non-threatening way. You will have access to a full suspension mountain bike and 4+ miles of private trails and roads.
