La Vida Adventure Pursuits
Learning Through AdventureTeam-building activities that provide meaningful and memorable adventure experiences for groups like schools, non-profits and families.
Reversing the Cultural Trend
Research shows that the current generation of youth and young adults is overcome with disproportionate amounts of anxiety, stress and loneliness. These health issues often negatively impact the physical, mental and social health of the individual. Many people long for meaningful experiences and relationships that will inspire them to push past these challenges and do great things. We believe that outdoor educational experiences are an essential component to reversing these trends and helping participants tap into their potential.
What is Outdoor Education?
Outdoor education is hands-on, experiential learning that takes place in the outdoors. Time spent outdoors engaged in activity is proven to have lasting positive effects on our physical, social and mental health. At La Vida Adventure Pursuits, our activities focus on engaging with learners through direct experiences with purposeful reflection that allows them to grow in their confidence, leadership, problem-solving abilities and interpersonal relationships. A day spent with us is just the start. Our hope is that participants carry the learning forward as they continue to process and reflect on the experience.
We recognize that every group is unique and has different goals in mind. Adventure Pursuits is one of the most versatile and customizable programs La Vida has to offer.
