Outdoor Adventure Club

The Outdoor Adventure Club is for youth ages 11-13 and is operated by Roanoke Parks and Recreation.

The Outdoor Adventure Club provides 12 months of outdoor activities for under-served youth ages 11-13. With one-on-one mentoring we are able to eliminate the barriers to the outdoors for youth regardless of a family’s financial situation, fostering engagement with nature, stewardship, and community. This program is a partnership with Roanoke Parks and Recreation and made possible by grants from Keen Effect and The North Face Explorers fund.

How to Get Involved

Interested in becoming a mentor for the Outdoor Adventure Club? Mentors, or “bigs,” will get paired with a child from an underserved community and have opportunities to participate in group outdoor activities together once a month for a year. Activities start in September, but the application process starts in June.
