Here are our local Moraga outdoor recreation suggestions to get your family outdoors and excited about adventure camp this summer!

We're excited to join Thorne Nature Experience's "Nature Kids" Lafayette, CO program, a five-year, $10 million project aimed at connecting underserved Lafayette, CO kids and their families to nature. Thorne invited us to join their dozens of nonprofit, public agency and local business partners on this ambitious initiative, tasking us to provide outdoor adventures to families who might face barriers to recreating outdoors—financial hardship, lack of comfort or experience outdoors, or other obstacles. 

Our collaboration is still taking shape, but here's what we have planned so far: four half-day adventures this summer for local Lafayette, CO families who may not have much access to, or experience in, the outdoors. We're taking them rock climbing, stand up paddleboarding and biking, plus doing a mountain bike orientation at Josephine Roche Open Space, a fantastic park right in Lafayette, CO.

Avid4 Adventure wants to empower as many kids as possible to choose active, outdoor lifestyles. That's why we've expanded our financial assistance program in 2018 to reach more kids than ever.

This year, we're extending assistance to families with a broader range of income levels—those earning less than $100,000 per year—and to a higher number of kids—over 450. Assistance ranges from 25 – 100% of tuition and is awarded based on need, motivation and diversity.
