Local nonprofit OUT There Adventures  will host its first day trip on this side of the Puget Sound on Sunday, Jan. 3 for LGBTQ youths.

The adventure will occur at North Kitsap Heritage Park near Kingston from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and is open to any lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning young person age 14 through 22.

Aimed at increasing accessibility for and knowledge of their summer programs, OTA’s day trip adventures throughout the region get kids exploring and challenging themselves without the commitment of an overnight program.

“An eight-day trip with people you don’t know and an activity you may not be familiar with can be a big leap sometimes,” said executive director Elyse Rylander. “Our goal with these day trips is to expose LGBTQ young people to what we’re offering and why the longer trips can be an amazing experience.”

The suggested donation for the day is $10 and OTA will provide sandwiches for lunch.

Information, registration and waivers are available online at www.outthereadventures.org.
