🏔️ Hey JBER! The Outdoor Adventure Program wants to hear from YOU! 👋

If you could go on one dream Alaska adventure, what would it be? 🤔

🐻 Spotting bears in the wild?
🚣 Paddling to a glacier?
🎣 Catching your first salmon?
🚵 Tackling epic mountain bike trails?
🏕️ Camping under the midnight sun?

Drop your dream adventure in the comments! ⬇️ We might just use your ideas for future trips and programs. 😉

It's the Summer Solstice this weekend in Alaska, which means over 19 hours of daylight! Don't forget to get out there, have fun, and be safe in all of your outdoor adventures!

Want some help planning your next Alaskan adventure? Send us a message, or stop by OAP at our building, Eagleglen Fitness Park (BLDG 4414) and we'd be happy to help!
