What types of outdoor adventures are provided?

Dream adventures are only "hunting and fishing adventures." We do not provide other types of "outdoor" activities. The child's or young adult's physician must determine whether the child's or young adult's condition will allow them to participate in certain types of adventures.

Are there any age limits for a dream adventure?

Yes, there are certain limitations based upon the type of hunting or fishing adventure and the laws that apply to that adventure. Children must be at least 6 years old to fish and 8 years old to hunt.

• To participate in a "big game" hunt, such as elk, moose, caribou, bear and other "big game" species, the participant must be at least 12 years of age. This is due to the minimum age requirements that exist in many states and provinces for hunting.
• To participate in an off-shore fishing adventure, the participant must be at least 10 years of age. There are many things to take into account when considering this type of adventure. Although these adventures look appealing when seen on television, they can be very tiring and very strenuous. In most cases, once the boat is a certain distance from the docking area, there is no returning to shore or stopping in "calm water" to take a break. There is a strong possibility that the participant, parent or guardian will experience motion sickness (sea sickness) and it can be very tough on the participants and family members.

Are there any costs associated with a dream adventure?

It is our intent to cover ALL of the expenses associated with the dream adventure for the participant, guardian or family members (parents and siblings still living at home). All expenses are fully covered by Dream Pursuit including travel, meals, lodging, license, fees, taxidermy costs, etc. We want the dream adventure to be a memorable and fullfilling experience for everyone without the worry of any costs or expenses.
