Brave Friends

Brave Friends Adventures are designed to strengthen friendships and foster compassion among children facing chronic illnesses, complex medical conditions, or life-threatening diagnoses. Our goal is to provide every child with an opportunity to experience unforgettable moments alongside their best friend or sibling.

We know that conquering fears is easier with friends by your side. Brave Friends Adventures offer exciting, shared experiences that promote connection, build confidence, and create lasting memories.

Through activities like indoor rock climbing, high-ropes courses, indoor skydiving, sporting events and more, we serve children of all abilities. We’ve seen first-hand how participating in these adventures helps build resilience, overcome perceived limitations, instill confidence and inspire courage that propels these children through their lives.

Eligibility Criteria

Participants are typically between the ages of 6 and 17, though we work closely with parents and caregivers to determine the best adventure for each child based on their needs, interests, and goals. We also collaborate with our Adventure Partners to ensure the experience is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to the individual. Some activities may be subject to availability or facility guidelines.
