About Us
Happy Exploring!
When we began The Adventure Wave, our goal was to create programs that inspire, excite, and educate our community. We believe in the philosophy of lifelong learning. That’s why we are passionate for providing adventures for every age and skill level.
We were founded in 2020 by Ted Lagos, an avid outdoor enthusiast with a passion for education. Our priority is to provide quality experiences that build a sense of personal growth, spark passions, and strike a life balance for all participants. To us, this means creating holistic programs and curriculums that address individual and community needs.
We are here to empower people to recognize their potential and impact through experience and application of learned skills. We do this by providing a variety of environments and challenges catered to everybody.
We hope that there’s an adventure calling your name!
