Why Waypoint?

Oftentimes people ask why we chose the name Waypoint Adventure. The more we explain to folks, “why waypoint” the more it begins to resonate true.

Life is a journey, comprised of significant goals. Sometimes those goals are clear and recognizable, but other times we need people or life experiences to open our eyes to their reality. As we move toward achieving these goals, we come across markers that help us stay on target. These markers might be people, experiences or ideas. Their intent is to focus us, redirect us or simply provide support.

To explain this idea, an easy metaphor can be drawn from the act of navigation with a map and compass. Once you have determined your destination or goal, you must set a bearing in that direction. In most situations you cannot see the end point, and in order to hit your mark accurately you must aim your compass to a point within view. These points are your “waypoints.” It is at these points that you can re-assess your positioning before pressing on toward your goal. In short, these waypoints are significant places along your journey that keep you on your desired path.

We believe that the programs at Waypoint Adventure will be a marker (waypoint) for our participants. Through the power of adventure experiences, we will strive to help our participants further develop an understanding of themselves and the world around them--thus directing them toward their goals.
