About Adventure Child: This outdoor experience company is offering once-in-a-lifetime adventures around the surrounding Las Vegas area. Through connecting visitors and locals alike, Adventure Child aims to connect people with nature, in ways that most of us haven't considered before, with some of the nation's top natural wonders. Please check our Instagram @Adventurechild and message us there for a faster response to set up an interview.
Through a variety of lifestyle trips, guided experiences, and kayak rentals, Adventure Child aims to help locals "find their inner adventure child."
Adventure Child's slogan is "Just outside of Vegas Baby." Siskowic explains, "As one of the hundreds of thousands of people laid off because of the pandemic, in the city that has been hit the hardest in the states, it was important to show people these world wonders were only a 45-minute drive outside of Las Vegas."
"We want to give people something they vitally need coming out of the pandemic: Meaningful connections with nature and priceless moments of joy," explains Siskowic.
The company's two initial offerings are a four-hour, out-and-back Emerald Cave Kayak Adventure and an 8-hour, point-to-point Hoover Dam Kayak Adventure.
The Hoover Dam Kayak trip has been described as many as the best day trip in the world. Guests get to see 5 different spectacular hot springs, (Including the Infinity Hot Springs) geothermal waterfalls, rain caves, and the Sauna Cave. For a great description of the hot springs please check out a recent blog post by some of recent our partners, https://followtiffsjourney.com/colorado-river-hot-springs/
The half-day trip to see the world-famous Emerald Cave and the historic gauging station launches just 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas at Willow Beach Marina. Both guided excursions provide a safe, mindful, and educational paddling experience of wildly scenic and historical sites otherwise inaccessible by vehicle and foot. Kayak and Canoe rentals are also available.
Siskowic further explains, "We have assembled a team of professionals that have a deep passion for helping others learn to appreciate the sacredness of the land around us, We assembled a group of Accepting, Inspiring, Mindful, Present, Patient, and Kind people to help guests have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We all have that 10-year-old kid inside us that wants to come out and have fun.”
Besides offering experiences for individuals and groups, Adventure Child will partner with local charitable organizations to offer adventure-based experiences for the people they serve. Adventure Child is proud to announce we will be giving a significant portion of proceeds to the The Inspiring Children's Foundation of Las Vegas and Trails on Earth. The company also plans to host family-friendly river clean-up events, and mindfulness retreats along the Colorado River periodically.
