Aspire to Excellence
ARCC provides a safe and fun environment that inspires lifelong friendships, leadership skills, and self confidence in our students. The lasting positive influence that comes from our adventures gives students the tools to step up to future challenges and tasks before them.
Quality Programs

Exceptional Staff
Our competitive hiring process ensures the leaders we select have extraordinary character and vast experience. We take pride in the quality leadership and positive role modeling that occurs on each adventure. Learn More
Education
Each environment we explore provides the perfect classroom for learning about the world that surrounds us. Our leaders teach classes relevant to the area and activity, giving students a valued understanding of the natural world.
Safety First
Our safety record is simply unmatched. In 26 years of operation, no ARCC student has ever suffered an injury requiring an overnight hospital stay. Considering that we have had thousands of students participate in our programs, our safety record is the envy of the industry. Learn More
Exclusive Access
Privileged access to the world’s most beautiful locations makes ARCC unique, and gaining access to remote areas like Colorado’s Telluride region or Fiji’s highlands is almost impossible. We’ve spent years developing local contacts, pursuing government permits and establishing personal relationships with representatives in foreign countries to earn special access to areas that are not often available to others.
Small Group Size
Our groups consist of no more than 15 students. Our leaders cherish the time they have getting to know each student, which helps them tailor the adventure to meet individual needs. Small groups give students the chance to bond together and establish close lifelong friendships.
Enthusiastic Participants
We request references from every prospective student and only accept young people who are enthusiastic about going on an adventure with us. As a result, students on an ARCC adventure are assured of being surrounded by a group of people just as excited about the adventure as they are.
