Howdy, Ethan! A new Packers fan, much anticipated by the Adventurers family, was born Monday afternoon to Jessica and Rino. Rino has been an Academy instructor since long before the Adventurers became the Adventurers Academy. He and Jessica are much loved by staff, families, and of course ALL ADVENTURERS! Baby and Mom (and Dad) are doing well. We wish them all the best and look forward to seeing the THREE of them soon!

The Adventurers Academy will open at 11:00 AM on Thursday, February 6
Due to weather and road conditions around the area, Austin ISD is operating on a 2-hour delay, so... the Academy will do the same. Be careful out there!

Brrrrr... Academy start is delayed 'til 10 AM.

I know our friends up north will laugh at us down here in Texas, but the Academy will delay our start today until 10:00 AM, because we follow Austin ISD's inclement weather announcements. They'll delay start of schools here. Hard to believe it was in the high 80s just a few days ago!

Cool new shirts!

For the past year, new and old Adventurers alike have been asking for new tee-shirts, jackets, and sweatshirts. Adventurers like to wear Adventurers shirts when we're on our field trips or volunteering in the community, and lots of our friends want them, as well! Now we've got some cool new designs.


Here's what's new:
  • A grey tee-shirt with the red, white, and blue Texas logo will be our "official" field trip shirt.
  • A special-order organic tee with a multi-colored design is for next summer's 2014 Golden Gate Adventure to San Francisco and northern California.
  • An Adventurers Academy sweatshirt will keep us warm when we're out and about this winter.
  • A classic light blue t-shirt with a white Texas design is another cool shirt.

A new way to order these is to visit our new online Adventurers Store. Order forms are also available at the Academy, or email us at adventurers@austinadventurers.org!

Melissa painted the butterfly design featured on Paper Clouds Apparel tee-shirts and tote bags August 5-18. She's proud to be a part of the project and we're proud of her!

Melissa attends the Adventurers Academy of Lifelong Learning, in Austin, Texas, among her many other activities. She especially likes attending live music events with the group. For the past two summers she has joined two extended adventures to the Silver Spur Ranch in Bandera, Texas, (“Cowboy Capital of the World”). She loves riding and working with the horses. Melissa enjoys spending time writing, attending concerts and theater productions as well as singing and playing her guitar.
