30 Year Celebrations!

This year we will be celebrating 30 years of BF Adventure and we would love to hear from you. If you have been here in the last 30 years as a client, instructor, visitor or volunteer we would love to hear from you.

We’ve seen a lot of changes. We’ve stuffed a lot of photos in a lot of boxes and hidden them in a lot of cupboards. We would love to hear your stories, see your pictures and hear how BF Adventure made an impact on your life.

We’re incredibly proud of our history, and would love to share it far and wide.
