We’re coming for you, summer
Training
Not even halfway through our planning session for our 2015 fall break trip – our Adventure Team had an epiphany. They realized that we were going on a serious rock climbing trip and that meant they needed to get serious about rock climbing – it was time to start training. We climb nearly every week […]
Planning
For over six years, we have been planning, coordinating and executing the highest quality outdoor trips possible for at-risk kids all over South Carolina.
