Vermont Outdoor Adventure Program
Empowering Youth with Adventure-Based Learning
The Vermont Outdoor Adventure Program (VOAP) is a specialized mental health initiative that uses experiential and adventure-based activities in a wilderness setting to help participants reach their emotional and behavioral goals. The program is designed to boost participants’ self-esteem and confidence while helping them learn to manage emotions, communicate effectively, trust others, take responsibility, and work collaboratively as a team.
Through outdoor adventures such as hiking, fishing, biking, canoeing, skiing, and more, VOAP participants discover their own capabilities in a supportive environment. Guided by trained staff who are passionate about helping youth succeed, participants build resilience and develop skills that positively impact both their daily lives and future success.
