Adventure Within was
evolved out of our love for both yoga and
nature. Both are balancing points in our hectic
and fast paced world, that allow us to stay
grounded and energized. What better way to enjoy
nature then to get outside and play? That's
pretty much our mantra.... "Get outside and
play".
For more than a decade the staff of American
Adventure Sports has been coaching & encouraging
people to get outside and play. From beginner
adventurers to seasoned adventure racers,
American Adventure Sports specializes in
teaching the how too for adventure sports.
Our guest houses feature all the amenities,
antique furniture, 2 bathrooms & a full kitchen
and laundry. Plus fresh homemade bread and
juice. Nestled in the quaint little river
village of Ohiopyle.
We love the water, and the waters of the Laurel
Highlands are some of the purest & cleanest
anywhere on the east coast. Let our experienced
guides teach you how to kayak or canoe or, enjoy
a guided white water rafting trip on the lower
Yough river.
For the perfect
combination of flow...... mind, spirit and
body... spend the day learning to climb up the
rocks or to rappel down them. Our certified
mountaineering instructors have taught literally
thousands of beginners how to safely enjoy the
sport of climbing.
 Our
experienced team is happy to help you custom
design an Adventure Within escape that fit's
your groups personality, wants & needs.

and the sounds of nature cleans your spirit as you
convalesce with nature. Morning session is followed by a
healthy breakfast of eggs, fruits, fresh baked muffins,
juice, hot tea & coffee.
Enjoy the rest of your morning biking, hiking,
reading, or just lying on a blanket in a meadow....
staring up at the sky.
After a restful morning, your experienced guides
will teach you how to read river currents,
characteristics of a boat, proper paddle strokes and
paddling technique, boating safety and much more. Once
your introduction is complete you will enjoy an
afternoon of paddling on the middle of the Yough River.
Keep your eyes moving, as wildlife abounds on the river.
Our clients have seen many different species on our
excursions, including Black Bear, Otter, Beaver, Loons,
Red Tailed Hawks, Osprey, Mink and much more. We will
stop several times along the way to explore nature or to
swim in a deep pool. We encourage you to bring a camera
along to capture natures beauty.

and either grilled or baked fish or chicken. Each

floor. Inhale the scents of forest fauna and
soak in the sounds of the forest all around you.
Become one with nature and with your ancestral
roots.... feel the pulse of mother nature.

the day you go for a horseback ride or visit
Frank Lloyd Wrights architectural master piece,
Falling Water. Or, maybe you opt for the book
and the blanket that you enjoyed so much
yesterday, we have the perfect mountain meadow
for you.
The afternoon is spent learning the
characteristics of mountaineering gear and how
to care for and inspect it. Your certified
instructors will teach you how to belay, proper
climbing communication, how to select a proper
