Mother-Son Adventure

Open to Military Moms & Children

Adventure Together

Enjoy a day of outdoor Alaskan adventure together! Designed to promote strong parent-child bonds, our Mother-Son Adventure program encourages families to explore the Last Frontier together.

Thanks to the Military Families Outdoor grant, we’re including Ranger Week activities in 2025 Mother-Son Adventure programs. Ranger Week activities are designed to help us better engage with our Alaska National Parks to learn about their history, culture, and environments!
