OUR MISSION

Using adventure therapy to help teens break through social, emotional, physical, and intellectual barriers through outdoor, adventure-driven experiences that foster personal growth, social connection and life skills. ​

OUR VISION

A culture of empowerment where young people with different abilities feel confident, respected, and supported through accessible opportunities outside their personal comfort zone; where they can be accepted for who they are without having to change to fit in; and where friendship is built on shared experiences that challenge them socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually alongside their peers.
“Alone it's just a journey, but adventures, they must be shared!” ~ Gandalf

PERSONAL EDVENTURE PARTERSHIP (PEP)

When a Boundless Edventurer is interested in excelling at a particular adventure, they have the option to pursue it beyond the seasonal BE program with a Personal Edventure Partnership.

A Boundless volunteer who is experienced in an individual adventure or sport will pair up with the teen and continue training together to gain more experience, strength, and confidence, as well as develop a personal connection and passion for the adventure.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Teens and Families Are Saying
Not only has my son experienced new activities and gained independence in the process, but I have found some friends too.  Other parent friends who understand what you're going through, and who can share resources and encouragement.
​“Boundless Edventures has provided a hard to find social space where my son is accepted as he is and eagerly looks forward to participating in activities that are more fun with friends. I am so thankful this group exists, that it has such steadfast volunteers, and that we are a part of it!”
“My son has made a whole new group of friends, he's participated in activities he may have never tried, while working on social skills and independence. He's having fun!  Every week he looks forward to a new adventure. This group has accepted him for who he is, given him confidence, given him much needed breaks from his anxiety and most importantly he is never sitting alone.”
"I filled my lonely bubble with all the friends."
"Payton has tried new adventures that she would have never tried with me while participating in boundless Edventures. Her confidence has increased tremendously, and she can fish, kayak,
paddleboard and rock climb among other adventures with no fear. Boundless Edventures has been a blessing for Payton to create relationships with
others her age and to feel included in outdoor activities.”
