While adventure-based programming has been associated with positive cognitive-behavioural changes, the mechanisms involved in these changes are largely unknown. Theories devised to describe the process of adventure learning invoke 'challenge' as a central element of their explanations, without specifically defining this construct. This study explores theoretical assumptions related to the construct of challenge by interviewing leaders of adventure-based programming regarding how they conceptualize challenge. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 outdoor/experiential educators and adventure program leaders. Qualitative analyses of interview transcripts were performed based on grounded theory. Core themes were identified pertaining to: the definition and qualities of challenge, the determinants of challenge, adventure and its relationship to challenge, coping with challenge, helping others to cope with challenge, and the consequences of challenge.
