VENTURE'S VALUES
Adventure. Leadership. Teamwork. Personal Character Development. Every program we offer will explore these 4 values, but each class has a different level of depth within those 4 categories. Read below to learn more about each value and what goes into our "ratings" of each class.
aDVENTURE
Classes rated high in "ADVENTURE" will be experience focused and often high energy and will challenge both physical athleticism and bravery. Thrill seekers will love the variety and active outlet and more cautious students will get the opportunity to push their comfort zones within guided and progression focused coaching steps.
If a year of high adventure and new hobbies is what you're looking for we recommend checking out our Adventurers and Explorers Extreme Sport Classes or our Wilderness Skills class!
LEADERSHIP
If you see a program rated highly in "LEADERSHIP," expect to be practicing your communication, idea sharing, confidence, and people skills. Students take turns being in charge of projects, will be asked to lead group discussions and practice sharing their thoughts in a clear and articulate way. These classes foster self reflection about leadership styles, encourage personal responsibility and will give students ways to try out their new skills in an accepting environment.
Our Intro to Health and Wellness program has a large focus on leadership opportunities and each student gets the opportunity to plan exercise programs and then lead their peers through what they've prepared.
TEAMWORK
Classes high on the "TEAMWORK" scale are all about community! The programs rated high in teamwork will focus on sports that require good communication, strategy, sportsmanship and building friendships. Sports are a beautiful way to connect with others and make lasting memories with old friends and to meet new people through shared experiences. Coaches encourage students to be social, make strong connections and to learn how to be more inclusive, kind and effective together.
If you want to make new friends and engage in some good friendly competition and team sports, Lifetime Sports might be the class for you!
Personal Growth
Sports create a unique environment for character growth and personal discovery. Classes rated high in personal growth will encourage students to learn more about themselves and how they relate to the world. Learning to try hard things, celebrate wins and losses with grace instead of comparison, and how to keep the personal determination to stay motivated to work on personal goals are just a few of the many life lessons that naturally arise whether you're learning a new sport or perfecting your favorite one. ​
WE Believe
Sports provide a unique opportunity for personal growth
Being willing to try and fail is brave​
Movement should be fun, not a chore to check off your to-do list​
Learning to push your comfort zone within safe parameters builds confidence
If you don't like sports, you probably just haven’t found the right one yet​
Shared adventures with friends create memories that last a lifetime​
Discipline and consistency are more important than talent
