AdventureSmart is a national program dedicated to encouraging Canadians and visitors to Canada to “Get informed and go outdoors”. AdventureSmart combines online and on-site awareness with targeted outreach to try and reduce the number and severity of Search and Rescue Incidents.
The Rovers deliver the following AdventureSmart programs:
-
- Hug-a-Tree and Survive is an AdventureSmart program that helps lost children survive in the woods. It teaches children how not to become lost in the woods, and what to do should they become lost.
- PaddleSmart is a presentation designed for youth and adults who want to paddle, e.g. kayaks, canoes. Topics include trip planning, training and taking the essentials for water based activities. Segments on moving water and coastal water can be added to the presentation depending on location.
- Snow Safety Education includes winter activities, such as skiing and snowboarding. The Snow Safety Education presentation is intended to foster awareness of the risks associated with these activities for children, to make sure they have the safest, and most enjoyable experience possible while outdoors.
- Survive Outside – Snowmobiling program will help ensure that you are properly trained and equipped to survive a night outside or to help others in need. Like all recreational activities, there are inherent risks that require snowmobile riders to act responsibly by being prepared and making good choices. Out there you will encounter frozen lakes and deep backcountry powder far from the comforts of the city.
- Survive Outside program offered by AdventureSmart is a great way to learn the value of preparation for safety in outdoor activities. AdventureSmart believes that outdoor recreationalists will significantly improve their chances of survival should they become lost or in distress if they follow three easy steps:
