Feeling Nostalgic? Let these Opportunities Nurture You

 

Alumni: Are you missing your A/U Ranches and DiscoveryBound (DB) friends? Are you cherishing memories from last year, 10 years, 20 years ago? Whether you have a little time or more, there are ways to reconnect with the experiences and people you love – and make new ones.

Here are some ideas:

5 minutes

  • Find fellow alumni friends in the A/U-DB Alumni Facebook Group. Join
  • Help a child get to camp with a monthly gift; become an Adventure Partner. Give
  • Tell an 8th-grader you know about the DB National Leadership Council; application form opens August 10. Learn more

A few hours

  • Establish your legacy and support future generations by including Adventure Unlimited in your estate plans as a member of our Summit Society. Find out how
  • Write about a memory you love from an A/U Ranches or DB program for Zipline – it may inspire others. Start

Send us a special camp memory

A long weekend

  • Dig into the topic, “God Giveth Us the Victory,” during Bible Study at the beautiful A/U Ranches (November 1-5). Register

One week

  • Bring your crew to the A/U Ranches’ Family Camp for some biking, peaking, rafting, climbing and lounging; there are just a few spots left (August 11-17). Register
  • Reunite with a beloved horse – and fellow corral alumni – at the A/U Ranches’ Wrangler Reunion, held during Adult Mini Camp. Not a wrangler? We have plenty of non-corral activities for everyone (August 20-26). Register
  • Come to Christmas Camp at the very special, delightful A/U Ranches; volunteer positions available, too (December 22-28). Register

A year

  • Take a dozen teens through one academic year of finding their spiritual and moral bearings as a DB Compass guide. Learn about it

Four years
