Why Us?
1. Guided Adventures Provide Security When You are Trying Something New
We at Outdoor ESCAPES New Hampshire help people of all ages explore the outdoors with safety, fun, and learning in mind. We offer nature tours and outdoor education to individuals, families, tourists, travelers, and groups of all kinds (youth, civic, spiritual, corporate, etc.). 2. Outdoor Adventures are Good 4 You Bringing children (and children-at-heart) into nature powers the imagination by stimulating creativity. These sensory experiences also reduce attention deficit, lower stress, and improve immunity. Let's build a better future by exposing children (& adults!) to more fresh air, challenge-by-choice, and sunshine! 3. A Great Family Experience There is no other activity that gets the whole family together like enjoying life outdoors, connecting with your kids and making memories that will last forever. (Same goes for groups & teams.) 4. Relax Live in the city? If you are feeling nature-deficient, you will find solitude, fresh air, peace, and the thrill of adventure. 5. Explore New Places You will get to know and appreciate New Hampshire's natural places and the diversity of species that live here. The State of New Hampshire in northern New England features lakes, mountains, rivers, valleys, seacoast, and the northwoods. You may also experience local history and culture, and meet new people--outdoor folks are the friendliest people around. 6. Something for Everyone We provide outdoor learning opportunities. From grandparents to babies, active or not, we have adventures for all. Find waterfalls and animal tracks. Have fun in the water and snow. Take scenic pictures. Discover moose, birds, frogs, and bugs. Take an S.U.V. tour of a region. Hike, bike, canoe, kayak, snowshoe, and ski. Shoot an arrow with a bow. Learn backcountry and survival skills. It's fresh air fun for everyone! |
