What families say

“La Vida Adventure Camp has action-packed adventures on water, land, and in the air, community building to help all kids feel involved, and caring camp counselors. We're signing up again!” — Ellen Parent

“I have brought a group from my university to La Vida Adventure Pursuits for over 10 years. We do a full day of low ropes and high ropes. Each time we go, the event goes smoothly and my students learn a great deal about themselves and working together.” — Judith Claire, Professor at Boston College
