- I have created the G.O.A.L.S. (Get Outside And Learn Something) program in response to a troublesome observation that today's adolescents are not as interested or engaged in outdoor recreation and activism as the generations preceding them. Recognizing that an underlying contributor to this decline is a lack of opportunities for guided exploration in the wilderness, G.O.A.L.S. brings kids on multi-day river trips through several of North America's most beautiful river canyons. Participating youth experience an increase in self-confidence, develop leadership skills and are endowed with valuable outdoor skills sets and knowledge in Leave No Trace Wilderness Ethics. Most importantly, the sense of personal pride and accomplishment that G.O.A.L.S. programs generate in wilderness environments instill a notion of ownership and responsibility for the wild places that remain around us.
