More about GOALS (Great Outdoor Adventure and Leadership Series
GOALS utilizes outdoor adventure activities to tackle important environmental issues. Through activities such as kayaking, mountain biking, hiking and rock climbing, youth develop an appreciation for the outdoors. They learn to respect nature and to do their part to keep it clean and strong. These lessons learned on paths, bikes, boats and mountains are brought with them back home to their neighborhoods and their homes. They spread this appreciation to their families and neighbors and on their school campuses. These sports are exciting and new for them and this interest provides a medium with which to communicate and develop strong pro-social behavior that positively impacts their environment
