Who We Are

We are a family-owned Adventure Travel Company located in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Please take a moment to meet our founders, David and Colleen Schnitzer, who have over 25 years of experience in adventure travel, camp management and youth ministry.

Our Core Values

We value the individual:  Our adventure trips are designed to allow individuals to shine. We aspire for every camper to discover they are loved and deeply valued by our staff.  As our campers step out of their comfort zones, they discover strengths they never knew they had. 

We value fun & adventure:  We are dedicated to providing the most fun, exciting, and thrilling adventures in some of the most remote and beautiful places on earth. We aim to ignite a spirit of adventure in our campers, empowering them to go boldly and live a life of adventure.

We value community:  Sharing experiences on an adventure together builds trust, respect and belonging. Living within a community setting encourages camaraderie, support, and the opportunity for meaningful connections and deeper friendships.

We value growth:  We are committed to fostering growth in every camper.  By combining outdoor adventures, community living and faith-based discussions, we are creating an environment that encourages personal and spiritual growth.

Testimonials

"I have had the pleasure of working for both these amazing people in seperate capacities. David with summer camp and Colleen with youth ministry in a church setting. Both are wonderful, professional, motivated, loving, caring and faithful people. I cannot hold these two to a higher standard than they already hold themselves to. Anyone would be lucky to learn and grow from them."

Testimonials

"I wanted HIGH ADVENTURE for my kids and Created for Adventure is what I found. Are you wanting a Christ-centered, adventure trip for your kids? These are the people doing it. This is rare...there are other companies doing this but not with Jesus at the helm, creation at their back, contemplation, identity, cooking and sharing meals together, being quiet in His presence. I was so excited to find Created for Adventure. These people are the real deal!"
