Give Today!
Life Adventure Center depends on donations from generous folks like you. If you can, please consider regular giving to facilitate our programs, feed our horses, and help those affected by trauma thrive.
Life Adventure Center intentionally partners directly with groups, and for good reason. To build resilience, we know at least two things must be present: participants need to have a well-developed sense of their own self-efficacy, and they must have supportive relationships with at least one reliable family member or other caring adult such as a teacher or community elder. At Life Adventure Center, we focus most of our energy in the first column, and our trained facilitators design programs for our partner organizations.
Finally, we are very proud of our teambuilding and leadership development curriculum. Our trained program staff work directly with organizations to design a program to help teams achieve outcomes in communication, teamwork, leadership, and more.
We love partnering with schools! It allows us to have longitudinal contact with our participants and see their transformation over a school year or longer, though we know the lessons they learn at Life Adventure Center will be some they can draw from for the rest of their lives. We work directly with schools to determine the best contact for them, which could include monthly or bi-monthly programs, at our site or yours and/or a summer camp.
We know our most impactful work happens with our mission-aligned groups when there is longitudinal contact between our trained program staff and our participants. For some groups, this looks like units in the spring and fall, both on-site at the Life Adventure Center property and off-site at the location of our partner group (what we call a “mobile unit) with a summer camp at Life Adventure Center in the middle. This enables us to introduce the skills we will be building and build trust with our participants before bringing them on-site for camp, where we can do the most intensive work. We then have multiple follow-up units, again, both on-site and off, to reiterate the skills learned at Life Adventure Center. This model works particularly well with other nonprofit partner organizations.
One of the most valuable ways to support the work we do at LAC is by bringing your team or group out for teambuilding. Our teambuilding group fees help us subsidize our mission driven groups, while also bringing incredible value to your team. Call us and let us know how we can help your team, and we will design a program based specifically on your needs and wants to help your team grow closer and stronger.
