What is Adventure?

Here at South Dakota Youth Hunting Adventures, we agree with the definition of Adventure as a way of doing; it is not just an activity in and of itself. Furthermore, Adventure is:

SIGNIFICANT

It has meaning and relevance for participants through unique activities. The Black Hills provide unlimited opportunities for personal connections to nature and opportunities for our staff to facilitate many unique activities.

CHALLENGING

It involves new experiences encouraging creative, “out of the box” thinking. Whether it be reaching the top of a trail pass in the rain/snow, or participating in group games; In the Black Hills we have unlimited opportunities where participants are challenged both physically and mentally.

SUPPORTIVE

It emphasizes teamwork to develop trust and healthy risk-taking. We always emphasize Safety-First, and we create an atmosphere and space where participants are supported as they push themselves to their limits.
