Zipline Alumni News

Wondering how Adventure Unlimited’s summer and fall programming is being affected by current regulations? Here’s a quick look at what we’re planning right now.

We invite you to join us for Youth Camp, DiscoveryBound virtual and in-person events, Adventure Unlimited’s Virtual Fundraiser, and more.

Have you ever taken a trip, and although you expected it to be fun, it actually changed the trajectory of your life? This happened for my aunt, Anabeth Cox. In this interview, Aunt A.B. (my name for her) shares how her first visit to the A/U Ranches in the summer of 1990 changed her life, not to mention her engagement with the organization.

Zipline catches up with alumni of the A/U Ranches and DiscoveryBound: Bill and Jill Morse, Niklas Peschke and Lyssa Winslow.

It was on horseback at Chico Basin and at the A/U Ranches that I had some of my most formative moments – learning that through hard work, trustworthiness, prayer and reliance on God, I could make a positive difference in the world.

While face-to-face events have decreased, DiscoveryBound (DB) Outreach virtual events, like so many activities over the past year, have grown significantly. From inspiring talks to social networking events, thousands of participants across the globe have been coming together to make meaningful connections.

If you only heard one thing about forests over the last few years, it’s likely this: We should be planting millions of trees to slow climate change. With this in mind, you might be wondering why the A/U Ranches is planning to cut down more than half of its trees, on over half of its forested land. 

Wherever you are, we’re with you! We invite you to join us for DiscoveryBound Outreach virtual game nights, Adventure Unlimited’s Virtual Fundraiser, Youth Camp 2021 and lots more!

My fellow graduates and I exchanged looks of joy and surprise, and it didn’t take long for the bittersweet mixture of gratitude and nostalgia to bring tears to some of us.

“In these strange times where we all feel isolated, I was so grateful for this bubble of joy and laughter, where we could come together and express the dominion of Love,” says one 20s/30s participant.
