Description

**IMPORTANT FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS: Before registering to volunteer on any Waypoint Adventure program, please review our volunteer eligibility requirements. If you meet the requirements, you should complete our general volunteer registration HERE. Then, you may review our program calendar and sign up to volunteer on specific programs.**

Waypoint Adventure is in collaboration with Friends of the Fells

Waypoint Adventure trip leaders specialize in leading accessible adventure-education programs for youth and adults of all abilities. Our small group hikes are the perfect way to try an activity for the first time, get to meet new people, or just get out into nature and experience the serenity of the trail, river, or lake with our community. Participants benefit from our selection of adaptive equipment, receive instruction to meet any learning style, as well as encouragement to reach their individual goals. Volunteers are asked to help us create community and make people feel welcome, help push off road wheelchairs for short periods of time if necessary, and help with group management.
