Youth-Led, Co-Ed Adventures for Ages 14-20
Venturing
You love exploring your passions, making new friends, and discovering the world. You’re always looking for an adventure. Rappelling a cliff. Perfecting your shot. Designing a robot. Kayaking into the sunset. Exploring your faith. Volunteering at an animal shelter. The choice is yours! Each activity provides an opportunity to shine and learn more about yourself and the world around you. Venturing is youth-led and youth-inspired. You’ll acquire life skills and gain experiences that will prove to be valuable regardless of where your future takes you, all while having a blast: leadership, event-planning, organization, communication, responsibility – the list goes on!
ALPS
Venturing’s acronym for the program areas of emphasis is A-L-P-S: Adventure, Leadership, Personal Growth, and Service. A Venturing Crew’s Journey to Excellence begins with a foundation in ALPS. And Venturing’s core ranks are rooted in ALPS as well.
