WE HAVE A PROGRAM FOR YOU!

Adventure Unlimited provides enriching activities for Christian Scientists of all ages and their families and friends of all faiths. Our programs serve each individual as a child of God, supporting their spiritual growth and healing. In fact, the practical and effective application of Christian Science is as much a part of our mission today as it was when John "Cap" and Marianne Andrews founded Adventure Unlimited in 1955.

**This year, we're celebrating 70 years of Opening Windows to God.**

Opening Windows to God

Whether it’s at the A/U Ranches and its 100 Elk Outdoor Center or in DiscoveryBound Outreach, National Leadership Council, and Compass programs, our vision is for life-changing spiritual growth through joyful adventures in an environment where Christian Science is lived.
