RIVERSIDE CLUB FOR ADVENTURE AND IMAGINATION, founded in 2013, is a small nonprofit in the Education sector that reported $485K in total revenue in fiscal year 2022. Expenses of $537K exceeded revenue, resulting in a 11% operating deficit.

Mission

The organization provides programs that inspire the imaginations of the young and cultural events that foster a creative community of families, educators, artists, storytellers, craftsmen, and adventurers. It is also a prayerful community in which there are many denominations of the Christian faith represented, as well as fellow pilgrims who seek an educational community rooted in beauty, goodness, and truth. Though we profess a Catholic view of the human person and purpose of education, we are dedicated to finding common ground with the various wings of Christendom through an understanding of the sacramental imagination expressed particularly well by J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.

Riverside offers five imaginative learning programs: (1) Tutorial: boys and girls experience the full pedagogy of Imaginative Learning. The Tutorial is a 9 month, active and engaging course in writing, speaking, drama, and journalism. (2) Ranger: two week-long summer camps offer an outdoor adventure for boys that guides them along the adventurous pilgrimage to heaven. There is brotherhood through outdoor adventures, imaginative storytelling, and prayer. Activities include canoeing, hiking, swimming, air soft, campfire cooking, etc. (3) Theatre: boys and girls participate in seasonal theatrical performance. Summer theatre camps are offered during the summer. Drama is one of the most powerful means of communication for young and old. (4) Creative Arts: boys and girls grow in imagination, creativity, fellowship, and faith. Together they learn how to sing, draw/paint, dance, and play musical instruments. The Arts have the power to awaken a greater vision of life in each person. The Arts inspire us, enliven us, and give us hope. Summer camps are offered for girls. (5) Maker: A team of craftsman and artists run Maker Sessions throughout the year. The Sessions take place at places amenable to the particular session-homes of "Riverside Friends", and the workshops of some of our experts. Maker Sessions are hands on activities that focus on craftsmanship, artistry, and technical skills with a view towards making useful and beautiful things. Please see the Riverside website (rside.org) for all the details.
