About
School-Based Outdoor Adventure ProgramAdventure Crew has operated school-based clubs since spring of 2015. Since that time, the Crew has grown over 300% in serving city youth with adventures in nature, to include such activities as hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing, orienteering and camping. Every month it's a new adventure, and every weekend it's a different group of schools so at a minimum, students have an opportunity once a month to go on an adventure in nature. Adventure Crew had record-breaking total attendance averages of 91 students every weekend from among its 22 schools throughout the Cincinnati Public School and Northern Kentucky districts (Bellevue, Dayton, Ludlow, Newport and Covington). Adventure Crew has paid teacher advisers serving in all of its schools to help coordinate and recruit students for each month's adventures. In school year 2018-2019, and despite several severe weather and/or river cancellations, Adventure Crew provided 2,213 outdoor experiences for students and their advisers. Adventures included kayaking in September; mountain biking in October; archery and hiking in November; skating in December; skiing and snowboarding in January/February; orienteering in February; Zoo and Aquarium educational programs in March, outdoor scavenger hunt and biking in April; kayaking in May and camping/swimming in June. Adventure Crew covered all the costs of these outdoor experiences including transportation to and from the adventure location, a healthy lunch, adventure access fees and gear through grants from various foundations and donations from individuals and businesses. Adventure Crew also grew its partnerships in 2018-2019 to provide new adventures and greater learning opportunities for students with such entities as the Cincinnati Zoo, Newport Aquarium, Camp Friedlander, Valley View Campus, Indian Hill Winter Club, Orienteering Cincinnati and Countryside YMCA.
