When I was growing up, that is what my formative outdoor experiences were based around. Going on camping trips with my family or going to overnight camp with friends were about using the time and space that being in nature gives us to form bonds with and learn more about other people, and to discover things about myself. There was no project to send, no summit to reach. The only objective to achieve was just being outside.* - **A blog post by Ethan Gillett, 2015** [Read More](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/in-loving-memory-ethan-gillett) [![](https://blog.avid4.com/hubfs/katie-coast.jpg)](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator) April 19, 2018 ###### [4 Things Learned Traveling in New Zealand from an Outdoor Educator](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator) Share This [Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&text=Avid4%20Adventure%20Journal%20|%20Emily%20Moeschler%20(3)&tw_p=tweetbutton&url=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=like&kid_directed_site=0) [Google Plus](https://plus.google.com/share?app=110&url=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator) [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator&media=https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/524285/katie-coast.jpg) [![](https://blog.avid4.com/hubfs/katie-coast.jpg)](https://blog.avid4.com/blog/traveling-in-new-zealand-outdoor-educator) Each year, Avid4 Adventure awards an Adventure Grant to one returning outdoor educator by providing an opportunity of a lifetime: one roundtrip ticket anywhere in the world plus an additional $500 stipend for their dream adventure!
