HOODIES & T-SHIRTS:

Adventures In Reach (AIR) hopes to expand what adventures are possible for you, teach the skills to help make that happen, inspire you to get out of a rut, and increase your confidence outdoors. We encourage you to challenge yourself and try something new, from a backyard adventure to an expedition. Although all outdoor adventures are fair game, AIR generally focuses on small sailboat or Sunfish sailboat sailing and camping, rappelling, knots, ropes, hammock camping, outdoor adventures with dogs, compass orienteering, canoeing, wilderness travel, outdoor gear, camping, hiking, and cold weather camping and survival.

--Canoeing/sailing the entire 1,600 mile Yukon River
--A Bachelors in Psychology
--3.5 years of coursework in Adventure Education

You don't have to recreate the adventures on this channel to feel the excitement. Choose one part or level that's in your reach, and make that your next adventure.
