We have been reading this week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson on “Mortals and Immortals” this week on our Zoom calls with our seasonal staff. We’ve been talking about how God renews us and what it means to be God’s “beloved.”

And how does Christian Science help us understand our true nature as God knows us?

Trailmarks 2025 is here!

Our annual report celebrates 70 years of impact, growth, and community for Adventure Unlimited. Let's take a look back on a special year.

As part of Adventure Unlimited's continued growth, we have embraced our strategic goal to serve more adults, and have increased participant days by 1,286 across existing and new adult programs, representing a 29% growth rate over previous years. What a way to celebrate our 70th anniversary!

At the A/U Ranches, we were especially excited to launch new experiences like the first-ever CS Homeschool Families Retreat which invited homeschool families to connect with each other through learning opportunities, typical camp fun, and time for deep conversations.

Read more about other updates from 2025 here: bit.ly/au-trailmarks25. We’re grateful for everyone who helped make last year possible!

Thataway, Linda Clarke's c**t, is a yearling!

Here's what Linda says, “Not only is he good looking, but he is smart, personable, athletic and calm. He doesn't learn, he knows. I feel like he already knows what we want to teach. He is so easy. He is a blessing. Lachlan would be so proud of him.”

In our Horsemanship major, you can expect a summer in the saddle – filled with horses, adventure, and hands-on Western riding traditions. 🐎 Here’s what you can look forward to:

Rising 3rd- to 8th-graders:
A welcoming introduction for riders of all levels, from first-timers to those with experience. Campers are placed in ability-based patrols, receive their own assigned horse, and learn from experienced corral counselors. Days include arena riding, scenic trail rides, gymkhana events, cattle work, and polocrosse – all designed to build confidence while keeping safety front and center. The session also features a three-day mountain trip and wraps up with an end-of-session gymkhana.

Rising 9th- to 12th-graders:
A deeper dive into the Western riding experience for those ready to grow their skills. Campers develop techniques in reining, arena work, gymkhana, cattle handling, and polocrosse, while strengthening their partnership with their horse. The program includes a three-day pack trip on horseback and emphasizes responsibility, leadership, and teamwork – finishing with the end-of-session gymkhana.

✨This major is currently full – join the waitlist to be considered if spots open up!
