Sponsorship and Advertising Opportunities

Why Teen Adventure.com?

Millions of outdoor recreation enthusiasts use the web to learn about their favorite sports. However, even though the Internet has become a key influence in our daily lives, very few teen web sites feature wholesome outdoor recreation topics.

Teen Adventure.com is a central place where teens and young adults can be encouraged to enjoy the fun and excitement of the great outdoors. Teen Adventure.com provides opportunity for businesses, non-profit organizations, and youth organizations to acquaint teens and young adults with outdoor recreation products, programs and services by featuring program materials and sponsoring Teen Adventure^TM site sections.

Teens are an impressive audience. Today, 15 million teens surf the web, and by 2010 more than 35 million teens will use the web. Teens are active buyers too. American teens spend 155 billion dollars a year, and 45 percent have their own credit cards or access to parent credit cards. Teens who participate in outdoor recreation activities continue these same activities into adulthood, and teens acquainted with your company's products and programs become loyal adult customers.

With the support of individuals, businesses, the educational community, and state and Federal agencies, Teen Adventure^TM will encourage young people to participate in outdoor recreation and provide them with "how to", "where to", and "what to use" information oriented to outdoor recreation activities.

Web Information
and Edutainment Center

Many outdoor recreation companies have great youth programs. Unfortunately, this information is scattered across hundreds, even thousands of adult-oriented web sites. Also, the presentation of this material is generally directed toward adults, not young people.

Of the teen web sites today, many focus on video games, movies, and do not feature outdoor recreation activities.

The core of Teen Adventure^TM is a highly interactive web entertainment and enrichment center specifically oriented to young people. Activity sections include information on outdoor recreation activities, "how to" "where to", and "what to use" in fishing, camping, travel, hiking/biking, horseback riding, water sports, and other outdoor recreation topics.

Teen Adventure.com^TM features a "What's New" section, a Teen Adventure^TM online newsletter, an "Adventure News Network^TM", an interactive Bulletin Board, a News Center, Calendar of Events, Celebrity Corner, Sponsor's Site of the Month, Tip of the Week, Photo Gallery, and many other interactive areas to motivate teens to return on a regular basis.
