Community Caring

The inspiration for Positive Adventures, LLC. was born years ago on a late summer day in Maine, where owner Ryan Shortill was working with children on the ropes course of a youth-oriented adventure program. Invigorated by the enthusiasm of two young participants, he envisioned a year-round program in which people of all ages and backgrounds could explore healthy outlets, increase self-awareness and connect with others.
