We are now more ready than ever to get young people back in the outdoors. From chaos we are witnessing examples of the resilience and adaptability of the human race and a recreating of our internal and external worlds. Unexpectedly, the much-maligned use of technology has really come into its own to support us across the world.
2020 wasn't what we expected! In this blog we provide the many ways in which we have adapted such as staff connection online, online programs, creating programs in WA as well as preparing a Covid-management plan. We can't wait to be exploring our backyard in WA with everyone and finding a safe way to interact and remain a positive community.
At AdventureWorks WA we support 'Raising Gutsy Girls' through our Rite of Passage program for schools. In this, we support young women to have courage in the face of challenge.
