Wellness Through Lifelong Adventure
At Skyterra, we believe that adventure is for everyone. It’s never too late to harness a new skill or try something new. During your healthy vacation at Skyterra, we want to allow you to get off campus and see what the area has to offer.
New experiences and adventures can help you break through self-imposed limitations, build confidence, and demonstrate that there’s many ways to move your body (and it should feel good!) We strive to reconnect you with the great outdoors during your stay, so you leave Skyterra feeling inspired to continue exploring and adventuring.
