ShelterBox Adventurer FAQ
Who are ShelterBox Adventurers?

But, if you are interested in going the extra mile…
Engage with the press
Adventurers are frequently approached by news media to cover their incredible stories of triumph. We’ve had adventurers featured on podcasts, local news channels, and even national media outlets. This is optional of course, but this exposure is essential to helping ShelterBox raise awareness of our mission to fight global displacement.
Back the Box
Adventurers often take our iconic green ShelterBox on the journey with them. Whether carried, worn like a backpack, or towed behind, the ShelterBox stands out and gives Adventurers an opportunity to share their story.

What types of challenges do Adventurers take on?
From ticking items off bucket lists to setting new world records, our Adventurers continue to awe and inspire us with their legendary challenges: Climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,00ft peaks, solo rowing across the Atlantic ocean, cycling the length of the Americas.
There is no limit to the types of challenges ShelterBox Adventurers take on. But they all have one thing in common. They go above and beyond to help shelter families who have been displaced by disaster.
Get creative! We can’t wait to see what your adventure has in store.
Is there a financial commitment to be an Adventurer?
No financial commitment is required!
While becoming an Adventurer doesn’t cost anything, participants are expected to cover all costs and fees associated with their personal challenge, including travel, lodging, gear, etc.
100% of all funds raised will be donated to ShelterBox USA; a global non-profit organization focused on providing emergency shelter and essential supplies to families displaced by disaster or conflict.
