The Adventure Summit is a 14-year partnership between Five River MetroParks and Wright State University.
“The Adventure Summit has everything from the armchair enthusiast to the national adventurer,” said Erin Sherrets, outdoor recreation program manager at Wright State.
One of his year’s Adventure Summit featured speaker was Heather Anderson, the 2019 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year.
In addition to listening to presentations and checking out 40 vendor displays, students, staff, faculty and visitors could participate in an indoor triathlon, bouldering competition and canoe battleship.
The event took place on Feb. 14-15 in the Student Union. Approximately 6,000 attended the Adventure Summit, and more than 100 volunteers helped to make it a success.
