About the Program

Parents guide. Children explore. Families grow closer.

Adventure Guides and Princesses is a national program that has been around for over 100 years. We offer father/daughter and father/son programs for children grades K-6. Spend one-on-one time with your child in a fun environment that builds important bonds through shared experiences.

The focus is on the parent's role as a guide in a child's life. Parents lead, direct, supervise, influence, and teach while presenting opportunities for children to explore the world around them. They lead by example as they set their children on a path through life.

The program experience begins as a side-by-side journey for a parent and child, until the child is launched into more advanced, independent activities.
