Adventures Unlimited
Engaging in Unparalleled Life Experiences
Since the beginning, group adventures have been a staple at DREAM. Our adventures, dubbed "Adventures Unlimited," are planned by mentors, mentees, and DREAM staff to explore exciting locations. We’ve gone from local gems to Redwood wonders, expanding horizons and inspiring dreams with every experience!
Local Adventures
Usually just a short walk away, local experiences like museums or nature trips allow DREAMers to explore their community and learn through experiential education. Past adventures include fire department visits and tours of our mentors' nearby college campus.
Regional Adventures
Unlike local adventures, regional adventures might require our mentors, mentees, and staff to drive an hour outside our community. Past adventures include sailing on Lake Champlain in Vermont and touring the New England Aquarium in Boston.
High Adventures
Primarily for our teenage DREAMers, these larger adventures are often planned out a year in advance and made accessible by mentor and mentee led fundraisers. Past adventures include touring Los Angeles and adventuring through the Alaskan wilderness. Our high adventures are on the docket to be rebooted!
Seasonal Adventures at Camp DREAM
Our Winter Adventure Challenge is the most famous, but Camp DREAM in Northern Vermont is open year-round! From apple picking and pumpkin carving to broomball and sledding, Camp DREAM offers fun and learning in all seasons. Connect with us to plan your adventure to Metcalf Pond!
Challenge by Choice, Fun for All!
Building Skills
DREAM adventures first teach mentees new skills and then encourage them to share those skills with mentors, mentees, and community members.
Becoming a Leader
Every DREAMer has the potential to lead. Our mentees help plan adventures, stepping out of their comfort zones to grow and lead.
Growing in Confidence
Through adventures and stepping out of their comfort zones, our mentees and mentors grow in confidence—in their abilities and trust in peers.
