Our Story

ARAO is a non-profit organization headquartered in Miercurea Ciuc, Harghita County. Our mission is to use grassroots sports and outdoor activities as non-formal learning tools to foster skill development among youth and promote solidarity across diverse communities.

At ARAO, we are passionate about nature and believe in its power to teach, challenge, and inspire. By engaging young people in health-enhancing physical activities in the great outdoors, we create meaningful experiences that build confidence, resilience, and social connection.

This is what we call "adventure that educates"—an approach where every hike, game, and shared moment becomes an opportunity for growth.
