MICROADVENTURES
TO IMPROVE WELLBEING
A microadventure is an overnight outdoor
adventure that is close and achievable, for
everyday people with real lives.
A microadventure is finding yourself a small slice of the great outdoors, not too far from your home to sleep outside for the night. You can drive, paddle, hike or cycle there. You can use high tech equipment or gear borrowed from your next door neighbour.
A microadventure is doable. It is accessible. It is freeing. It is calming. It is exhilarating. It is a little risky. It is confidence building.
Microadventures give you access to a better you.

WHAT HAPPENS ON A MICROADVENTURE?
Vokser Founder, Eleanor Carey goes on a solo, midweek microadventure to D'Aguilar National Park.
"Because of not knowing where to start and fear of the unknown, I had never even considered going on a midweek microadventure. With Vokser, I learned how to do it all myself and overcome every roadblock. Returning from my first microadventure, I felt calm, brave and proud. I have access to a whole new world!"
