CREATING LIFELONG CONNECTION

Skillful Guidance When the Path Is Unclear

AR helps people who feel stuck build greater independence, confidence, and momentum through individualized outdoor experiences, trusted mentorship, and clinical support when appropriate.

This programming serves teens and adults facing mental health challenges, substance use, life transitions, or simply struggling to find a way forward. Time outside creates opportunities to develop:

  • healthy habits

  • outdoor skills

  • personal growth

Through individualized adventures in nature, clients build confidence, self-efficacy, and practical skills that translate to everyday life.

We match each client with an AR Guide and/or clinician based on their goals, interests, and needs, using outdoor experiences as a foundation for growth, connection, and meaningful change.

AR NAVIGATOR: A CONTINUUM

Adventure Recovery Navigator is a minimum three-month program combining one-on-one outdoor experiences, case management, family support, and ongoing connection with an AR guide. Each program is built around the client’s goals, needs, and interests.

We’ve combined the best of what works into a comprehensive package that includes a minimum engagement to build accountability, develop skills, and drive sustainable success. We define goals directly with clients and our team through the AR-integrated approach. Navigator builds a foundation for growth.

ADVENTURE RECOVERY MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

Individual client sessions take place during half-day, full-day, overnight, or immersion sessions. We structure time with clients individually, based on need and desired outcomes. We also provide concierge-level case management, family support, and connectivity, and we can offer clinical support as needed. For immersions, overnight or multi-day experiences offer the opportunity to expand on the teachings, deepen integration, and apply what they’ve learned. Clients build alliances, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. This is the goal: a happy, healthy life.

We all have the potential to thrive.

Sometimes, we need guidance to access the tools and skills that move us forward. Through outdoor experiences, trusted connection, and compassionate guidance, we expand our capacity to develop skills and abilities to live a life of our own determination. This is where we find personal agency.

You choose the direction and the activities, based on skillset; we guide you along the journey, supporting every step of the way. Immersing yourself in these disciplines, you experience wonder, contentment, and joy. This is why we go.

“Adventure Recovery helped me believe in myself again. With the help of my AR Guide, I was able to reverse a downward spiral that almost got me kicked out of college. Today I am thriving, pursuing my dreams and applying for grad school.”
