Austin Adventure Guides

Austin-Area Adventure Guides Circles
While there are many events in which everyone in the Adventure Guides program join together, much of the activities centers around a "Circle." This group of several families camps together is the main point of interaction for the kids.
Following are the current Circles in the Austin area (as of July 1, 2008). The list grows as new people join and sometimes circles disappear as children age. Many Circles have their own websites. To join the program and be placed in an appropriate Circle click the "How to Join" link above or see the "Contact" section of this website.
