Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that brings together adults with adolescents for 1-1 connection. These adults have chosen to regularly spend time with a teenager that they aren’t related to, with the goal of being a positive influence and mentor for them in their lives.

We’ve stepped in with Big Brothers Big Sisters to provide opportunities for the bigs and the littles to spend time together in an outdoor setting. This particular program gave them a chance to spend time bonding, and creating memories and meaningful experiences together, learning about navigation, fire-making, and overland navigation using compasses and topographical maps.
