Running a successful outdoor adventure is more than tossing gear in our car and loading it up with a team. Time spent creating a thoughtful, kind, and supportive group is an essential skill that can make or break our time outside. Learn more about how creating intentional communities can benefit all Mountaineers activities, regardless of the type or length of the program.
