The Adventure Group Inc. is a registered charitable, non-profit, experiential education and training organization incorporated in 1992 to address the needs of young people and their parents. The Adventure Group works with clients using an adventure based “learning by doing” approach, which fully involves participants in the experience. Sessions are held in Charlottetown and in Montague.
The Adventure Group provides customized services with the goal to help clients build a solid foundation that includes stable housing, childcare, employment skills, self-confidence, financial literacy, a strong social network, and a supportive family.
Each summer, prevention programs are offered through a youth leadership delivery model where youth ages 15 to 25 are employed to work together to implement the program for children ages 9 to 14.
Intervention programs are also offered throughout the year. Individuals identified as priority youth gain a multitude of skills that will allow them to set long-term life/career goals. This highly interactive experience will have a life-changing influence on the individuals who participate in this project, and will profoundly impact their children’s futures as well.
Other programming includes one to five-day ROPES (Rite of Passage Experiences) workshops. Participants are given challenges to work through by problem-solving and opening their minds to issues like inclusion, diversity, teamwork, risk, trust, communication, community, and much more.
These workshops are also used for team building for corporate clients. Customized sessions are offered any time of year.
