Triabuddies Peer Adventure, May 3-6, 2011

A highlight of the Triabuddies program is a kids-only adventure that takes place during the days leading up to the year-end Ironman event. Kids learn the value of communication and peer support in a positively challenging outdoor environment.

This year's adventure will take place at the Zion Panderosa Ranch Resort in Zion National Park, UT. The Triabuddies will be supervised by 6 adult leaders from Insulindependence's Testing Limits Outdoor Adventure Club. From hiking and climbing walls to Jeep tours and mini golf, the Triabuddies will experience first-hand what it means to live a life without boundaries. Below is a sample itinerary of activities during the peer adventure (activities subject to change):
