Go Ape

This year, let’s choose resolutions that push us outside the box. Prioritize experiences that – yes, get you fit and are fantastic for your mental health – but also build personal and professional skills and prioritize creating connections and memories with your loved ones.

Improve your physical health, strengthen your emotional resilience, and make time for the people who matter – the Go Ape experience has something for everyone. It’s more than fitness. It’s about becoming the best version of YOU. If you’re ready to make a change in the coming year and add some excitement to your life, adventure-driven resolutions are the perfect way to do it.

Why Choose Adventure-Driven Resolutions?

Benefits of adventure-driven resolutions: They allow you to step out of your comfort zone, boost your confidence, and develop new skills. By embracing adventure, you can also improve your physical fitness, mental well-being, and overall resilience. They’re also a great opportunity to bring a friend along – a great accountability buddy that you’ll create incredible memories with and build deeper connections.
How adventure can enhance personal growth: It pushes you to confront fears, overcome challenges, and expand your horizons. Adventure forces you to tap into your inner strength and discover your true potential.
Ways to make adventure a part of your everyday life: Adventure doesn’t have to be limited to grand, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. You can infuse adventure into your daily routine by trying new activities, exploring your local area, or even taking spontaneous road trips.

At Go Ape, we provide a wide range of thrilling outdoor experiences that can help you embark on your adventure-filled journey. Our courses are designed to challenge and inspire, allowing you to push your limits and embrace the thrill of the unknown, and with our New Memberships, you can have unlimited adventure for as low as $15/month.

Setting Achievable Adventure Goals

Setting goals is an essential part of making the most out of your New Year’s resolutions. Whether you are an experienced adventurer or just starting out, having a clear vision of what you want to achieve can help keep you motivated and focused. Here are some tips to help you set realistic adventure goals:

Tips for setting realistic goals:

Reflect on your passions: What excites you the most? Rock climbing, hiking, ziplining – anything! Choose goals that align with your interests and be open to trying new things! It’s part of challenging yourself to grow.
Start small: It’s important to set achievable goals that can be accomplished within a reasonable timeframe. Begin with smaller adventures and gradually work your way up to more challenging ones. At Go Ape, this may mean starting with the easier ropes course routes and work your way up to the extreme routes and, of course, the big swing: The Tarzan Swing.
Be specific: Set clear and measurable goals. Instead of saying, ‘I want to go hiking more often,’ specify how many times a month or year you want to go hiking. This helps create a more focused plan.

Creating a plan to achieve your resolutions:

Once you have set your adventurous goals, it’s time to create a plan to make them a reality:

Break it down: Divide your goals into smaller, actionable steps. This will make them less overwhelming and easier to tackle. For example, “find ways to de-stress and prioritize mental health”, “become closer to friends and family”, “conquer a fear of heights”, and “become the strongest version of myself” are all great goals – all of which Go Ape can help with.
Set deadlines: Assign specific deadlines to each step of your plan. This will help you stay on track and prevent procrastination.
Research and prepare: Gather information about the activities or destinations you wish to explore. Research any necessary equipment, training, or permits needed to ensure a safe and successful adventure (for Go Ape, we provide all the gear, so we’ll cover this step).

Tracking progress and celebrating milestones:

Tracking your progress is crucial to staying motivated and celebrating your achievements along the way. Here’s how to do it:

Keep a journal: Document your adventures, challenges, and progress. It’s a great way to reflect on your journey and see how far you’ve come.
Use technology: There are various apps and wearable devices that can help you track your activities, distance covered, and elevation gained. Embrace technology to monitor your progress.
Celebrate milestones: Whenever you achieve a goal or reach a significant milestone (like conquering that big Tarzan Swing!), take the time to celebrate your accomplishment. Treat yourself to something special or plan a fun outing with friends or loved ones, and with a Go Ape Membership, your friends and family get 25% Off every outing with your Friends & Family Pass benefit!

Remember, setting achievable adventure goals is about pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone while still considering your own capabilities. By following these tips and creating a solid plan, you’ll be on your way to an exciting and fulfilling adventure-filled year!

Exploring New Outdoor Activities

Embrace the great outdoors and discover thrilling outdoor activities that will make your heart race and bring you closer to nature. Here are some exciting outdoor activities to try in the new year:

Zip Lining: Soar on a zipline adventure, feeling the rush of adrenaline as you glide through forests, over rivers and lakes, and experience an unforgettable thrill.
High Ropes Courses: Challenge yourself on high ropes courses, navigating through obstacles and testing your balance and agility. Challenge courses are great workouts, strengthening muscles that normally aren’t used, and have a wide range of options so you can choose your level of difficulty.
Tree Top Adventures: Explore the forest canopy on a treetop adventure, conquering suspended bridges, swings, and zip wires.

When seeking new outdoor activities, don’t forget to look for hidden gems in your local area. There are often lesser-known locations waiting to be discovered right in your backyard. Research online or reach out to local outdoor enthusiasts to find these hidden gems. Not only will you save time on travel, but you’ll also support local businesses.

Additionally, joining adventure communities and clubs is a great way to connect with like-minded individuals who may also be on the same journey you are or could have advice for conquering new outdoor activities. These communities often organize group outings and events, providing opportunities to try new activities and explore different locations. You’ll not only make new friends but also learn from experienced adventurers.

Adventure-Driven Travel Plans

Exploring new destinations and embarking on thrilling experiences can provide you with lifelong memories and personal growth. Here are some tips to help you plan epic adventure trips for the year, choose destinations that offer thrilling experiences, and budget and save for your adventure travel:

Planning Epic Adventure Trips for the Year: Start by making a list of the destinations and activities that interest you. Research different adventure travel options, such as hiking, zip-lining, or rock climbing, and identify the best times to visit each location. Create a calendar or travel itinerary to map out your adventures throughout the year.
Choosing Destinations That Offer Thrilling Experiences: When selecting your adventure travel destinations, look for places that offer a wide range of thrilling experiences. For example, if you’re a nature enthusiast, consider destinations known for their stunning landscapes, like national parks or remote mountain ranges. If you’re seeking an adrenaline rush, explore destinations that offer activities such as bungee jumping, ropes courses, ziplining, white-water rafting, or paragliding. Research online, read travel blogs, and gather recommendations from fellow adventure enthusiasts to find the perfect destinations for your travel plans.
Tips for Budgeting and Saving for Adventure Travel: Adventure travel can be affordable if you plan and save wisely. Start by setting a travel budget and determining how much you can save each month. Cut unnecessary expenses and consider setting up a separate savings account specifically for your adventure travel fund. Look for flight deals and accommodation options that fit your budget and consider traveling during off-peak seasons to save on costs. Additionally, consider alternative accommodations like camping or staying in hostels to further reduce expenses. Take advantage of travel rewards programs and loyalty programs to earn discounts or freebies for future adventures.

By setting adventure-driven travel plans, you can make the most of your new year and create unforgettable memories. Plus, with Go Ape’s monthly and annual Memberships, it’s the perfect time to take your adventure to the next level for the best price – cheaper than your average gym membership.
