We wrapped our 2017 program season this past weekend and it was our best one yet! Thank you to all the volunteers and lead staff who joined us this year and helped make each week amazing! An even bigger thank you to the hundreds of incredible participants who stepped off the plane and spent a week kayaking, climbing and surfing with us! If you can't get enough FD, check out our local adventure communities and get involved so you can adventure on with FD all year round!
