We find no pleasure in creating a product that is only available to those that can 'afford' it. We believe that all families should have access to tools and resources regardless of income, schedule limitations or other barriers that often get in the way. We WANT parents and families to tweak our programs to fit their unique style and preferences. We know that an Adventure enjoyed by a family with young children will look very different than a family with teens. Different ages, different sizes, different interests, different abilities and resources. Knowing that every family is unique, our programs are intentionally designed to be adjusted to fit the family using the program. Therefore, we believe family adventures should be interactive, meaningful, and flexible to fit the family style. However, we believe that most people, regardless of their learning style, learns best and retains more when the learning method incorporates doing and using as many different senses as possible. We know that each family is unique and that there are many ways to learn. Our role is to encourage parents to have the important conversations, to provide resources and tools to support them in their important role, and to provide plenty of opportunities for them to engage in meaningful ways with their children without breaking the bank in the process. None of our programs will ever tell parents HOW they should think or exactly WHAT they should tell their children about a topic. Our foundational culture is that it is the role and responsibility of parents to teach and support their children. We make our best effort to understand and appreciate the coalition member's needs in every situation. We continuously strive to maximize internal and external coalition member loyalty. We focus on finding new and effective ways to help our coalition members achieve their goals and dreams. We never say anything about anyone that we would not say directly to him or her. We ask clarifying questions if we disagree or do not understand. We communicate honestly and with purpose. We operate in a responsible manner ‘above the line’. We look to the system for correction and propose all possible solutions if something is not working. We communicate any potentially broken agreements at the first appropriate opportunity to all parties concerned. We make only agreements we are willing, able and intend to keep. We acknowledge everyone as right from their own perspective. We speak calmly and respectfully, without profanity or sarcasm. We listen with the intent to understand what is being said and acknowledge that what is said is important to the speaker. We treat others as we would like to be treated.
