If you thought Rockford didn't offer anything super cool for you to do this Summer, you thought wrong!

I'm always down for an adventure.  Give me a day, place, and time and I'll 100% be there.  If you told me we were going to hike in the middle of the night in the wilderness, I'd probably... think about it... but honestly I'd still go.  This is like a once in a lifetime experience and being with professionals who have my safety in mind definitely makes me feel a lot better.
