Hante Characteristics

All Hante Adventures provide an amazing experience for participants.  During each adventure you are able to:

  • Learn leadership skills.  
    Teach your peers how to use a map and compass on a trek through the Colorado Rockies, or how to tie a figure-eight knot on a climbing trip in the Southwest.
  • Develop wilderness skills.  
    Learn how to build a shelter and identify edible and medicinal plants found in the wilderness.   Begin learning how to prepare food on a camp-stove or campfire.
  • Gain self-confidence.  
    Paddle 100 miles of whitewater with everything you need in your boat.  Feel a rush of adrenaline as you reach the top of a difficult mountain climb to look down at the vast stretch of land beneath you.
  • Experience personal growth.  
    Find the true adventurer inside you as you climb to the top of Virginia's highest mountain or climb one of the large peaks in Ecuador.
  • Challenge yourself in exciting new ways.  
    Learn what it takes to navigate your way through nature as you sail in the pacific-northwest, or backpack along trails in Maine.
  • Form lasting friendships.  
    Come away from your Hante Adventure with true friends who shared a common experience.
