WHO WE ARE
Adventure Therapy Foundation is a nonprofit that exists to provide no-cost outdoor experiences designed for individuals and their families impacted by cancer.
We provide families with adventures of their own design. Families impacted by cancer are invited to present Adventure Therapy with an outdoor opportunity that no one in your family has ever tried. We then plan the adventure and send you on your way. The excitement mixed with adrenaline will seal the day into your family’s memory forever.
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.
