What group leaders are saying
Judith Claire
Professor at Boston College
“I have brought a group from my university to La Vida Adventure Pursuits for over 10 years. We do a full day of low ropes and high ropes. Each time we go, the event goes smoothly and my students learn a great deal about themselves and working together.”
Ashley
Teacher
"I planned a field trip with La Vida for a group of 30 alternative high school students in grades 9-12. We participated in a full day experience with low ropes team building activities in the morning and high ropes courses in the afternoon. The director was very helpful and made the planning of the field trip smooth and easy! The staff was extremely knowledgable, patient, and supportive with our students. For a lot of students this was a completely new experience and this trip was the highlight of their year. So many student's expressed how much fun they had and asking if we could return the next year!"
Adrianna
Corporate Team Leader
"We had a 3-hour team building event for our corporate team in late July at La Vida. Our group was very hesitant about an outdoor adventure event but the La Vida team really showed us a great time. It was a perfect day. I'd highly recommend planning an event with them!"
