KEEN TEEN Adventure Club
KEEN TEEN Adventure Club offers one new experience each month!
Led by KEEN's Environmental Education and Adventure Programming Manager, Dre Kezele, teens will build skills, take chances, and learn about themselves in challenging situations.
​
And throughout the year, we'll offer special "big adventures" that give participants the chance to stretch their skills and try something new.
Every adventure will be different. Every season brings something new to discover.
