WE HAVE A PROGRAM FOR YOU!

Adventure Unlimited provides enriching activities for Christian Scientists of all ages and their families and friends of all faiths. Our programs serve each individual as a child of God, supporting their spiritual growth and healing. In fact, the practical and effective application of Christian Science is as much a part of our mission today as it was when John "Cap" and Marianne Andrews founded Adventure Unlimited in 1955.
