WHO WE ARE
Adventure Therapy Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that exists to minimize isolation, fear and a broken identity in families impacted by cancer. Our programs encourage families to engage in meaningful outdoor experiences together.
We provide families with outdoor adventures. Families impacted by cancer with school aged children are invited to present Adventure Therapy with an outdoor activity that no one in your family has ever tried. We then plan the adventure and send you on your way.
One out-of-your-comfort-zone activity can prove to everyone in your family, that when you work together, you can accomplish anything. Adventures can look like ice skating, camping, backpacking, hiking, skiing, surfing, rock climbing, snowshoeing, cycling, zip lining, kayaking, trapeze training, sailing, and on and on your options go. Dream it up and we will set it up.
