The Adventureful school assembly program:
Mindful Lessons from a 2,000-mile journey through nature.
About the program
At Adventureful, we’re helping kids live a more mindful and nature-filled life. In the Adventureful school assembly program, our founder takes students through an unforgettable journey, sharing his story of hiking 2,189.8 miles along the Appalachian Trail in a fun, engaging, and inspiring way.
In the program, he talks about the hike itself—what it was like to be stuck in the rain for days, and coming face-to-face with rattlesnakes, bears, and even wild ponies!
But he does something more important. He invites the children to navigate the path with him, taking advantage of the healing powers of nature, and using mindfulness to find the resilience to overcome life’s challenges, both on and off the trail.
Get ready for a wild journey and help your kids stretch to the place beyond their comfort zone!

100% of surveyed staff would recommend the program to other organizations. Here’s what some of them had to say…
“I hope your message reaches every child everywhere!”
“One thing this presentation can teach all of us is to find our inner strength, and sometimes it truly is a journey to find out that we’ve had this inner strength all along. When faced with difficulties it is important to breathe, look at things with a clear mind, to have perseverance, courage, and to never give up. It is easy to walk away or avoid things that are difficult, but to tackle them head on can be life changing. We can all be a little more grateful and appreciate the beauty our world has to offer. Thank you Scrambler for taking us on this journey.”
“I love, love, loved this presentation! It was relevant, engaging, encouraging and entertaining! All schools should listen to the message and take this phenomenal journey with Ryan!”
