Interactive Adventures
Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
Description

Interactive Adventures provides opportunities to explore and experience Kamloops and the surrounding area. We craft itineraries to highlight interesting things to see and do. We strive to create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere to engage participants, build bonds and connections through meaningful interactions. Most of our time is spent working with TRU on the LEAP program, but we also offer adventures outside of the university program. Adventures include local and international trips.

Interactive Adventures coordinates the Thompson Rivers University Leisure Exploration Activity Program (TRU LEAP). Which offers subsidized activities and events for students.

Interactive Adventures also offers unique trips for small groups to explore the world. These trips are open to anyone and are not affiliated with the university. Prices will be higher as they are not subsidized.

Meet new people, see new places, and try new things.

Leisure - We aim to provide convenient, quality, accessible leisure opportunities.

In this busy world it is important to take time to disconnect from the constant demands on your time. Among our many responsibilities and commitments, it is important to budget some time for yourself. Leisure time gives you a chance to relax, recharge, and re-energize.

Exploration - We want to bring joy as participants discover new places, try new things and meet new people.

Discover waterfalls, lakes, and rivers. See forests, deserts, grasslands, and mountains. Interact with people from all around the world. Try speaking other languages, taste different foods, and make new cultural connections.

Activities - We work with activity providers to offer diverse, interactive, engaging and accessible itineraries.

Fun activities are available to those with little or no experience. We aim to offer options for those with mobility limitations and other challenges. Activities include: sight seeing, indoor rock climbing, and snow-sports like skiing, snowboarding, and the more accessible option of snow-limo tours.

Positive Connections - We want to build a sense of community, and expand perspectives through new experiences and interactions.

Create bonds with friendly people who will surround you with good vibes, support and encouragement. Expand your social circle and develop your network. Feel a sense of belonging as part of a positive group.

I enjoyed working with James on this project. While I sometimes had not been able to follow through on my end of things, James took the time to explain and guide me through what I needed to do and learn. I greatly appreciate those that help me out with things without making me feel dumb for asking, even if I did, in fact, ask a dumb question.
