Any new interested kids and parents are welcome to join us at one of our regular meetings to find out more about TAASC! It’s the best way to see what we’re about, meet other students and see if it’s something you want to be part of.

TAASC is an exciting and innovative year round outdoor leadership, adventure/service program that allows students to develop confidence, group awareness, leadership skills and personal responsibility, all the while having fun with new friends.

“The greatest thing about TAASC for me as a parent has been that I’ve seen my child’s confidence increase dramatically. He has conquered any fears that he had in the beginning and now his leadership qualities are emerging. The folks at TAASC have given him challenges and experiences that have helped shape his character and develop skills that will serve him well in the future. Also I think it is great that he gets to know other kids outside his immediate circle”. ~Mary Jane Keever, TAASC parent

 August 2022 Covid-19 Protocols

During these odd times, TAASC must mandate protocols to keep both students and their families safe. There is an inherent risk in all activities, and that risk is significantly heightened during this pandemic. We are mitigating these risks through the policies below. We believe that these few risks are worth taking to provide a vibrant educational environment for our students. As a program; we will be following all State and Federal mandates concerning Covid-19.

  1. TAASC meetings and trips will not require masks unless the group is indoors. Please always bring a mask to TAASC meetings incase this happens.
  2. We expect full transparency from our community about symptoms, exposure, and testing results.
  3. Students who are sick must not attend any TAASC Events.
  4. Students who have significant exposure to Covid-19 (prolonged proximity to a suspected or positive case) need to re-test negative before returning to TAASC.
  5. TAASC Bus travel for weekend trips requires masks be worn + all bus windows will be open
  6. For overnight weekend trip, students need to do a home covid test the night before the trip (if planning on sharing a tent with another student)
