Adventure Guides
The Adventure Guides program provides fathers and their children with meaningful opportunities to strengthen their relationship through shared experiences, outdoor adventures, and lasting traditions. Campouts provide parents and their children the opportunity to disconnect from everyday distractions, build friendships, and create memories that will be talked about for years to come.
Annual One-Time Enrollment Fee: $67.00
The program registration fee covers expenses that are not covered by campouts or events. This is a yearly fee that only needs to be paid once a school year and will be applied upon completing a registration for the program, campout or event below for the current school year.
