How It Works

Adventure Skills events are casual, easy-going clinics to show you how to safely enjoy outdoor recreation. The Southern Adventures team is trained and certified to help you learn kayaking, rock climbing and other fun activities.

Registration

You can register for events online for free! Spots are limited for each Adventure Skills event so that every participant can get a unique, personal experience. All Adventure Skills events begin at the Southern Adventures Center, and the Southern Adventures team will guide you to the event destination.

Challenge by Choice

The Southern Adventures team practices challenge by choice during Adventure Skills events. Challenge by choice means that each individual can choose their own level of participation, and it’s not chosen by facilitators or other group members. No one is forced to do something they are not comfortable doing, and our staff is able to easily modify most activities to resolve concerns, difficulties or limitations.
