Zipline Alumni News

Events for 20s/30s, Youth Camp, winter weekends – there’s a lot to get ready for in the year ahead, and we have just the avenue for you to connect with your Adventure Unlimited family.

Zipline catches up with alumni of A/U Ranches and DiscoveryBound (formerly A/U chapters) programs: Matt and Owen (Loose) Bissell, Jennifer (Little) Pierce and Cindy (Peyser) Safronoff.

In addition to welcoming everyone who loves participating in all aspects of Mini Camp, the A/U Ranches is inviting to the reunion past and present alumni (campers and staff) who hiked, peaked, backpacked, rock climbed, navigated the ropes course, caved, mountain biked and more.

Two graduates of the DiscoveryBound National Leadership Council who were also campers and counselors are serving the organization that supported them, now as impactful staff members.

With Adventure Unlimited’s Bridges to the Future Campaign ending on January 31, 2020, the word is out: Alumni can help us get to the finish line!

The joy of feeling inspired and connecting with peers in the Christian Science community during the DiscoveryBound Outreach trip to Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend was echoed by participants and chaperones alike.

We serve alumni to make sure the inspiration, fellowship and life lessons from DiscoveryBound and A/U Ranches programs never fade, regardless of where you live or even how long it’s been since you’ve been involved.

Alumni: Take a step forward in your spiritual growth as a DiscoveryBound National Leadership Council class leader, book your event at the A/U Ranches, make a #GivingTuesday gift and more this fall and winter.

Zipline catches up with the newest members of the National Alumni Board: Jennifer Dale, Karen Ostler, Rodger Sheehan, Leslie Welles and Joy Anderson.

This summer, I did an internship as the forestry program head with the A/U Ranches. One of the requirements of my degree, a Master of Environmental Management from Western Colorado University, requires that graduate students actually “get something done” and assist with a project that benefits an organization working towards improving environmental health. Over the summer, this is exactly what I got to do at the A/U Ranches!
