In 2017, the IRS accepted our 1023 application and Venture Free became the Venture Free Foundation! By the end of 2019, our single counselor has grown into a team of 4 year-round staff and an additional 6 seasonal counselors. And, the number of past and present campers that we have been fortunate to adventure with has grown from 5 to over 350! |
The unique Venture Free Experience: Continuous Exposure Our programs are structured to not only give our campers a positive experience in the outdoors, but most importantly, to give them continuous exposure to an environment that encourages problem solving, improvising, adventure, risk management, and a deeper understanding of our natural world. When children are regularly interacting with the environment for extended periods of time, campers develop a stonger connection to nature, and a "once in a lifetime" experience becomes a lifetime of experiences. |
