Avid4 Adventure Mission: To inspire life-long active outdoor lifestyles and environmental stewardship through experiences that provide personal development and memorable family adventures, while addressing the logistic needs of parents. From: the Founder of Avid4 Adventure, David Secunda: I started Avid4 Adventure to do two things. First, to engage kids in active outdoor pursuits in a safety-oriented, environmentally responsible manner. To this end, Avid4 Adventure provides age-appropriate outdoor activities that encourage learning, develop self-esteem and build friendships. Given that outdoor activities can involve risks, we focus on promoting safety through participant awareness and quality staff. All of our staff are proficient and tested in their area of instruction, certified in first aid and CPR, trained in defensive driving, background checked, as well as being experienced with kids and great role models. Second, to make it easy on parents so you can feel like more than just a chauffeur. Early drop-off to camp, easy to order nutritious lunches, & extended care options are available, providing welcome logistic relief for busy parents. Also, Avid4 Adventure day camp programs meet centrally and all of our activities are local, so travel time is minimized for you and your kids. Over my last 25+ years in the outdoor industry, I’ve run a number of programs, from the CU Outdoor Program to the Outdoor Recreation Coalition of America, but I’ve never been as excited about anything as much as Avid4 Adventure. I look forward to personally answering any questions that you have! Avid4 Adventure Foundation: “KIDS, COME INSIDE, YOUR DINNER’S GETTING COLD!!” Twenty years ago, these words echoed across America millions of times each evening. Today, this phrase is much more seldom heard. Parents are concerned as they witness the increasingly sedentary lifestyle that kids are adopting. Mounting time in front of video games and TV, reduced PE in school and a drop in team sports participation are leading to a generation of kids that are less physically active and more overweight. Avid4 Adventure was founded to address this growing concern by delivering a spectrum of outdoor recreation non-competitive activities for kids and families that are designed to offer logistic relief for today’s busy parents.
