Adventure
We provide outdoor recreation where youth challenge themselves, build confidence, and engage in new experiences.
Team building and leadership development
Build your team by working through activities and scenarios that directly relate to real life and everyday experiences.
Choose from several learning settings, ranging from right on campus to urban adventures to the grandeur of nature — all of which can be customized for your students' needs. Our experienced adventure guides and dedicated naturalists are passionate about designing the perfect program for your group.
Overnight Programs
Tent Camping
There is just nothing like an overnight trip, sleeping under the stars in a tent. Our camp guides will show you how to set up and break down a camp, work as a team, cook, fire-build, and how to “leave no trace.”
Cabin Camping
Take your students to the local mountains and experience camping in cabins! We partner with local camps for a full service experience with heated cabins and a dining hall. Activity options may include hiking, climbing, archery, high ropes, arts and crafts, teambuilding games and sports!
Backpacking
Take your overnight experience to the next level!Our backpacking guides are skilled in the gear, the terrain, and in fun activities that get everyone participating. We build self-confidence through hands-on problem solving and goal setting, while gaining a greater respect for the natural world.
Off Site Programs
Hiking
Our hikes help you learn about the world around you AND your fellow group members. Lessons are based on location but can include sections on local plants and animals, geology, environmental stewardship, and local indigenous people.
Geocaching
Bring students into a world-wide scavenger hunt! We teach participants how to use a GPS and read a map while exploring our location to find the geocaches. Caches will have riddles and or action items for groups to accomplish as a team.
Kayaking
We go to sheltered lakes, bays and marinas in 2-person kayaks and explore. Students hone their communication skills as they in pairs to complete challenges. Arc provides all gear--you just need clothes that you don’t mind getting wet! Open to all, even non-swimmers.
Rock Climbing
We take participants to a real, natural rock face for climbing in a safe and positive atmosphere. Especially good for goal-setting and helping reluctant climbers gain confidence. Our experienced guides will provide support, encouragement, and training on safety practices.
Biking
When you have a need for speed (or want to give it a try), leave the pavement behind to ride on different terrains in a safe and exhilarating way. Overcome adversity, build confidence, and improve coordination and balance. We provide the equipment; you provide the experience and skill.
On Site Programs
Learn to Bike
This program introduces K-3 riders to the basics of biking! Arc provides all necessary equipment (bikes, helmets, pads) for students to grow their skills and confidence.
Climbing Wall
Bring a climbing wall to your site! Staff will bring a 25' wall and all gear to help participants experience rock climbing in a safe and controlled environment.
Leadership Classes
Test your leadership abilities with training, including personality assessments and team building. Discover your strengths and what means to be a leader!
Obstacle Course
A custom obstacle course will give participants an opportunity to try a variety of new things and test their agility and balance. Great for younger students!
Team Building
Play games that challenge your
communication skills, build problem-solving abilities, and rely on teamwork. Games are goals-focused, non-competitive and fun—you don’t need to be a star athlete to succeed! Great for clubs, sports teams or other groups on campus.
Little Adventurers
This program brings the puzzle solving elements of an escape room to your school site! Guides will facilitate a series
of challenges for your students to practice their creative problem solving skills and navigate themed challenges.
Good For Large Groups
Beach Day
Get your kiddos down to the beach! We lead students on a fun, and safe, beach
day. Activities include teambuilding games and supervised water play, plus lunch.
Roller Skating
A classic experience! Partnering with a local provider, a roller-skating trip gives your students a chance to try something new and possibly open up a whole new world of recreation to them! All rentals are provided.
Ice Skating
We've taken hundreds of students ice skating for the first time and they’ve found it to be a great experience! Partnering with a local rink, guides will help students get onto the ice and learn the basics of skating. All rentals provided.
