Appalachian Trail Adventurers
The mountains are calling, do you want to go?
Feel the awesome power of viewing the world from the top of a mountain. Find a deeper bond with nature as you venture to places beyond where the roads end. Find your inner strength while walking with only the essentials on your back. Do all of this with the Kentuckiana Girl Scout AT Adventurers!
The AT Adventurers is a Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana tradition, and they have been training "newbies" to hike the Apalachian Trail for over 30 years. Girls receive training during day long workshops and an overnight weekend that will challenge them and prepare them for the rigors of life on trail.
You won’t believe your eyes when you see the natural wonders that await you at Red River Gorge in Slade, Kentucky. For those looking for adventure not too far from home, the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Appalachian Trail Adventurers present a weekend of Via Ferrata rock climbing, kayaking the Red River, hiking, and camping. View the majestic cliffs and glittering waters as you test your limits with your fellow Girl Scouts.
