KAF Adventures – “The Power to Actualize Potential”

Team KAF

With KAF Adventures, I feel valued, loved, and respected as an employee, as a peer, as a friend and as part of the community.  

KAF Community Climb

For me, there were 2 distinct “starts” to the 2014 summer season at KAF Adventures, which were both very powerful.

Smith Rock

The first “start” revolved around a community event, at which the KAF community was invited to climb at Smith Rock, Oregon. After the community event the KAF staff, their significant others, and a few more people gathered in a house, to get to know each other better, and to enjoy fellowship. The high point of the evening was when we took time for “intention setting”. We shared with one another what we wanted to see/do/be more intentional about over the next 6 months. We were listened to, respected, and encouraged by one another. It was a beautiful way to bring a group of people together and to support one another. Those intentions will be revisited at the end of the season.

Staff Training

The second “start” was staff training. The team got together at the office, went over logistics for the season, met new staff, and then took off to be in the mountains. We hiked over dirt, rock, snow and ice, camped and cooked in the snow, and attempted to summit a beautiful peak in WA. A few days together, sharing meals, sharing a tent with people I had just met, being roped together, and enjoying the wilderness was AMAZING!


Staff Training - Going up

Staff Training - up!

It has been clear to me from the beginning, that KAF Adventures values community, teaching, and being outside. The very meaning of the name, “the power to actualize potential”, speaks loud and is obviously a driving force in what we do.

"Dream it. Do it."


Staff Training - We made it out!

Thank you KAF Adventures!
