Apex Youth Connection

 

Apex Youth Connection is about getting youth “out there” — leveraging the power of human relationships to connect youth with their community, with the great outdoors, and with their futures through adventure-based and hands-on activities.

There are all kinds of ways to get involved here at Apex! Whether you want to tear up the roads or trails on your bike, learn to rock climb, go on amazing forest adventures, become a bike repair master, or explore and leave your mark on your community, there are opportunities here for you. 

Check out their program descriptions below to find out more about their Summer 2020 offerings online at apexyouthconnection.org
