Wilderness Inquiry’s Adventure Leadership Program (ALP) develops strong leaders for a diverse society. Designed for young adults of all backgrounds and abilities, ALP seeks to bridge the gap that often exists between nondisabled youth and teens with disabilities.  We do this in a fun way that is interesting and enriching for all teens --exciting outdoor adventures.

The overall program cost for each child to participate in ALP's year round program ranges from $3,000-$3,500 per child.  WI subsidizes over half the cost of the program, charging $1,500 to participate in the year round program.  In addition to this subsidy, many ALP participants receive additional financial aid.  Each year we work to raise $25,000 to ensure that the program is available to everyone regardless of ability to pay.
