A new kind of weekend is in the works

Good adventures
start somewhere.

We're building a thoughtfully equipped adventure van in Charlottesville—and taking you along from the first design decisions to our first family trip.

Why we're building this

More time outside.
Less getting ready.

Some of the best weekends start with a simple idea: let's go somewhere. We want to make it easier for families, couples, and friends to turn that idea into a real adventure.

Send It Adventures is starting with one purpose-built van and a love of the Blue Ridge. We're creating a basecamp that makes it easier to hike, ride, paddle, camp, and explore—without needing to own all the gear or plan every detail from scratch.

Rentals aren't open yet. For now, we're sharing the process of bringing the van to life.

The idea behind the van

A basecamp built for the way we explore.

Our conversion concept includes a convertible bench bed, an interior-access rooftop tent, organized rear gear storage, an outdoor shower, and off-grid power. Every detail is being considered through the lens of real adventures.

The van is not finished. Features, capacity, and final specifications are subject to the approved design and completed build.
