About the provider

Adventure Links was founded in 1997. The program says its youth adventure camps provide an active, hands-on environmental experience for younger generations, and its programs strive to challenge the individual, develop teamwork, and empower the participant to protect the environment. The site also says Adventure Links works with local charities to provide complimentary experiences for underprivileged and at-risk youth and participates in river and beach cleanup programs.

Campers ages 8-15 are mentioned in the summer camp program pages. Instructors must be at least 19 years old, have Wilderness First Aid and CPR certification, and undergo background checks and drug screening. The page says all camps run in all weather conditions and the itinerary may change for safety. FAQ says participants are transported by van and mini-bus. The page also states that campers can choose their challenge level and that programs are mainly introductory.
