ADVENTURE YEAR
The Anti-App for Families Who Want More Real Life
What if adventure didn’t require a plane ticket?
What if connection didn’t require hours of planning?
What if the best memories of the year happened in the small spaces between busy days?
Welcome to Adventure Year.
Daily adventures and monthly challenges designed to help families connect, create, explore, and reflect—without adding stress to your schedule.
We help families build a legacy, one adventure at a time
Because the stories your kids remember usually start with something small.
Start Where You Are
You don’t need more stuff.
You don’t need a longer to do list
You need small adventures that fit into the time you have, and a space to reflect on them, together.
Adventure Year gives you that.
Inside the On the Roam Everyday Adventures app,
you’ll receive:
• Weekly adventure prompts
• Monthly themed challenges
• Conversation starters
• Reflection moments
• Seasonal traditions
• Unexpected ideas for joy
Each prompt is designed to take 15 minutes or less.
Simple enough for real life.
Meaningful enough to become a memory.
The Rhythm That Makes It Work
Instead of random ideas, Adventure Year gives families a gentle weekly rhythm.
Make It Monday
Create something together- a piece of art, a recipe,
Tell Me Tuesday
Conversation that sparks connection.
Wanderlust Wednesday
Explore somewhere local.
Throwback Thursday
Share some old school fun and games
Freaky Friday
Break the routine.
SaturdazzleDay
Extra special challenges designed for weekends
Soul Food Sunday
Adventures designed to experience awe and gratitude
You don’t have to do all of them.
Just one can shift the tone of your week.

Built for Real Life
Adventure Year was created by educator and author Anne Armstrong, founder of My Gnome on the Roam.
After years working with families, classrooms, and communities, Anne noticed something important:
Families don’t need more to-do lists, they need more adventures that fit into the time they have available
Adventure Year provides those ideas in a way that feels fun and meaningful. (Did we mention these ideas are free/inexpensive?)
