Raven Adventures

Raven Adventures

Raven Adventures is a unique adventure company. Based at Earthlands International, a community and environmental center in central Massachusetts, Raven Adventures offers innovative programs for youth and adults. Since 1986, Colin Garland, founder of Raven Adventures, has been sharing his life-time skills and stories with people of all ages. His deep kinship with the Earth makes him an excellent leader for anyone wishing to experience the natural world that we are a part of.

While exploring extraordinary places of the world, Raven Adventures is dedicated to a new way of adventure travel - one dedicated to preservation of the environments and sensitivity to the cultures in which we immerse ourselves. A portion of trips fees helps support environmentally sound service projects in many of the small communities in which we travel.

Please visit our trip pages to learn about our trips, find packing lists, print out forms, and look at photos from past trips!! This site is just getting on its feet and we appreciate your patience as we work to compile all the information that we hope this site will eventually contain.

Raven Adventures currently offers the following exciting international adventure trips:
BAJA, MEXICO KAYAKING JOURNEY Trips run December-March
COSTA RICA CLOUD FOREST ADVENTURE Year-round Many group trips run in March and April

Many of our trips are run in conjunction with The Global Classroom, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to international service, conservation projects and environmental education. Participants may have the option to help with Global Classroom projects as part of Raven Adventures' mission to be an eco-friendly travel company. We recommend that you check out the Global Classroom site, especially the Global Classrom Journal, for more information about goals and attitudes of trip leaders and the kinds of experiences participants have had on many of Raven Adventures' trips.
