Lifeschool’s Go Adventure Program

Specialties

Go Adventure is Lifeschool’s flagship program offering highly customized outings for youth, schools or private groups of ten or more people. Outings are available from April 15 thru October 15 each year. Programs are designed from 2 to 31 days in length and can include themes like teambuilding, fun, rite of passage, wilderness navigation, challenge, class bonding, service, reflection — or all the above.

Go Adventure Wilderness: Go to places where the only sounds you hear are from friends and nature and the only sights you see are breathtaking and untamed. The backcountry experience leaves an impression that lasts a lifetime.

Go Adventure Tours: Go Adventure Tours combine front-​country and urban activities and cultural activities with ‘car camping’ or wilderness experiences. Hybrid trips like these are custom designed to include camping, hosteling, national park visits, hiking and biking, heading to a nearby city.

History

Established in 1999.

Jim Nevill and Padraic Rohan met while staffing a summer camp in 1995 in Occidental, California. In the evenings after work, they talked about their wilderness travels: the adventure, the humbling experiences and the incredible beauty. They also talked about how schools were not able to really address some core issues facing youth development, issues like esteem building, leadership, teamwork, exposure to nature and time to reflect.

For years to follow, Lifeschool trips were staffed by Jim and Padraic’s friends willing to volunteer their time and their skills to help get kids outdoors. What started out as a short trips to Point Reyes and the Santa Cruz Mountains has grown considerably. In January 2007, Lifeschool changed the names of its wilderness trips to Go Adventure.

Since inception, over 3000 youth, from a dozen states and multiple countries have attended Lifeschool’s wilderness adventures.
