Venturing into the great outdoors offers incredible opportunities for adventure and connection with nature, but it's important to remember that the wilderness is home to many species of wildlife. Encounters with these creatures can happen daily while hiking or camping in the wilderness.

While these experiences can be awe-inspiring, some can pose safety risks and you must prepare. The key to a safe and rewarding experience is knowing how to handle these encounters. This comprehensive guide provides practical tips to help you safely navigate unexpected wildlife encounters. 



Finding meaningful activities for middle and high school boys during the summer can be quite challenging for parents. With the rise of technology and social media, many teenagers are spending more time indoors and are less inclined to engage in activities that promote personal growth and development. Moreover, parents are often concerned about the lack of positive and constructive outlets for their sons during the summer break.

Traditional summer camps may not always cater to the specific needs of teenage boys in 6th-12th grades, leaving parents searching for alternatives that offer both excitement and purpose. This search for activities that provide opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, leadership development, and the building of meaningful friendships can be a daunting task.



Adventure camps offer a unique opportunity for girls in 7th-12th grades to experience growth, build character, and develop lifelong skills. These camps provide a supportive environment where young women can explore the great outdoors, challenge themselves, and deepen their faith. 

At Created for Adventure, we believe in providing faith-based adventure travel opportunities that allow teenagers to connect with God while experiencing the thrill of adventure. Here’s how our adventure camp benefits girls in these critical developmental years.
