WELS Adventure Program is Taking Applications

Go to https://welsadventure.org to apply!

The WELS program is a leadership development opportunity for Fayette County youth.  It engages 7th & 8th grade young men and women through the sports of rafting, biking, climbing, and hiking as well as providing adult mentorship and community service opportunities.  WELS uses these sports as a tool to share our core curriculum of RESPONSIBILITY, RESPECT, TRUST, EMPATHY, RESILIENCY, & GRATITUDE with our students, instructors, and volunteers.  We encourage the transfer of leadership skills into students’ everyday lives. 

Selected youth participants will experience an outdoor adventure activity on Sunday afternoons with professionally trained guides.  Each adventure activity will have a have a new core value introduced, discussed, and applied to that activity.

Youth participants are required to meet each Monday evening following their outdoor adventure experience.  This will provide our facilitators the chance to expand on the core value learned and experienced and for all to discuss how it might apply to our everyday lives.  We share a family-style meal, engage in team-building activities and meet outdoor professionals to inspire youth in career exploration.
