Bringing the adventure home . . .

What happens in a Project Adventure program?

Typically a Project Adventure program could involve anywhere from half

a day to several days (or for an hour a week overall for several weeks) in small groups going through a series of adventure-based activities in which group participants get to know one another better and work through adventure-based challenges. Activities often include group initiatives and games, low rope

course elements, and/or high rope elements attached to a “belay,” or safety line.

A class becomes an adventure if an element of surprise exists, with activities that compel participants into doing things they never thought possible!

Project Adventure focuses on fostering human learning and growth via adventure-based programming in settings such as schools, recreation settings, and with any group that wishes to function more cohesively (corporate groups, sports teams, etc.). In many ways, Project Adventure’s mission is well captured by its motto:  “Bringing the Adventure Home.”

The New Canaan YMCA is pleased to present this program to use adventure education as a catalyst for personal and professional growth and change. For more information, contact Program Director Davie Cedela at (203) 966-4528, ext. 141.
