Are you a thrill seeker with a passion for helping kids? Join our team of volunteers and support our mission to provide amazing outdoor edventures that will have a lasting effect on your life and the special teens you will connect with along the way! Each weekend we host a new and exciting experience for neurodiverse teens ages 12-20. Our volunteer to participant ratio is 1:3, and we get to play right alongside our edventurers. Events take place on Saturday mornings and typically run 1-3 hours. We kayak, hike, paddle board, sail, fish, visit local attractions, and more! Experience working with this population is a plus, and experience in the above mentioned activities is not required, being in good physical condition is needed to keep up with this group. We meet at various locations around the Anne Arundel County area.

About BOUNDLESS EDVENTURES INC

Location:

1911 LINCOLN DR, ANNAPOLIS, MD 21401, US

Mission Statement

Using adventure therapy to help teens break through social, emotional, physical, and intellectual barriers through outdoor, adventure-driven experiences that foster personal growth, social connection and life skills. ​

Description

We have created a culture of empowerment where young people with different abilities feel confident, respected, and supported through accessible opportunities outside their personal comfort zone; where they can be accepted for who they are without having to change to fit in; and where friendship is built on shared experiences that challenge them socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually alongside their peers.
We host 1-3 adventures per week for 12-16 teens with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, Down Syndrome, and other diagnoses. Our adventures include hiking, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, rockwall climbing, laser tag, oyster gardening, indoor experiences, local attractions, historical landmark visits, and more.
