Dear Educators

Welcome! As the founder and general manager of Keystone Adventures, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our approach to outdoor education, and to thank you in advance for considering our programs for your students.

Keystone Adventures is a pioneer in outdoor education and adventure travel, with programs in China and around the world. We demand professionalism and integrity across all of our operations. Along these lines, our diverse staff are highly competent, well-trained, and possess the linguistic and cultural skills necessary to facilitate participation by students with varied backgrounds. We insist on quality in all aspects of our programs and place the safety of students above all other considerations. Throughout our entire operating history, we have an impeccable safety record.

Using outdoor environments as our classrooms, Keystone Adventures has created a broad range of empowering programs for students of all ages. Our programs are designed to focus on outdoor education, cross-cultural exchange, life skills, and adventure. Component activities are carefully selected on the basis of safety, accessibility, and suitability. All trips are ultimately tailored to the specific needs of students, taking into account the concerns and wishes of parents and educators. It should come as no surprise then that the educational outcomes of our programs are as diverse as the opportunities we offer your students.

At Keystone Adventures, our philosophy is grounded in several key beliefs: We believe that people perform best when challenged. We believe that leadership skills can be acquired through practice. We believe that learning should be enjoyable – not a chore. Finally, we believe that spending time in the outdoors promotes psychological well-being and fosters a sense of responsibility.

I am personally motivated, now more than ever, to ensure that young people have the opportunity to spend time in the outdoors, “unplug” from the ever-encroaching world of technology, and rediscover the value of social interaction. A week with Keystone Adventures is a chance for children to grow, to discover the leader within, and most importantly, to have fun!

We guarantee that the friendships and memories forged, and the skills learned on each and every program will make the Keystone Experience last a lifetime.
