Most groups grill a lunch or bring a picnic lunch to eat before heading back to school. Students will also enjoy a variety of yard games available at the Outpost: giant connect 4, giant jenga, giant tic tac toe, corn hole, ring toss, slack line, etc.

Below is a list of our various activities available for the students to participate in while at River Island Adventures.
