What is Adventurous Play?

Adventurous play is child-led play where children and adolescents are able to experience feelings of excitement, thrill, and even fear. Why fear? When someone chooses to do something new, there may be a bit of anxiety, nerves, and trepidation. Age appropriate risk taking allows kids to learn about uncertainties, variety of feelings, and how to cope with arising feelings and emotions. Tools provided throughout our adrenaline adventures help create life long learning skills that become part of long-term memory. Not only do adrenaline adventures allow kids to learn and expand their cognitive and emotional skills, but also have fun while doing so. Children and adolescents are given the opportunity to learn cognitive - behavior skills and develop through age appropriate and healthy risk taking during our adrenaline adventures.
