  • Folks,

    I'm new to the adventure world and am in the midst of developing my business plan.  My intent is to offer experiential training to corporate USA and offer experiential education to youth.  I've a fair start on assemblying demographics for both, but am in a rut as far as organizing it all.  I'm in contact with my local SCORE and ASTD office, but as this is a new concept for them both, they're not able to offer me expertise guidance.  

    So, I'm looking inside the realm of all things experiential in hopes to get some focused insight.  I know that there are many closely guarded industry secrets regarding marketing and such, but if there is a possibility for an organization to extend a hand to assist me / mentorship I'd sure appreciate it.
