Character Builders

6 Ways Adventure Builds Good Character in Our Kids 1 2 3 4 5 6

Faith

When adventure pushes us outside of our comfort zone, our faith is strengthened because we must look to something greater than ourselves.

Integrity

Being dependable and truthful is vital to keeping ourselves and those around us safe during adventurous times.

Poise

Having a keen sense of what to do, and what to say, in the moment is a skill that can only be learned by doing and observing. Inviting adventure into everyday life gives our kids the opportunity to practice poise.

SELF-DISCIPLINE

When doing a new activity or having a new experience, we must be accountable for our own actions and thoughts.

Endurance

Excitement and novelty can help our kids keep going, even when the going gets tough.

Courage

Nothing forces us to face our fears like adventure. We may encounter situations that make us scared, but we press on anyway.
