The Founding of Kids Adventures

Kids Adventures was founded by Brian Rindos and Greg and Cathey Carver in response to families who were seeking a program that was more than just childcare—a place where children would be well-supervised, active, and fully engaged. From that vision, Kids Adventures was born.

Greg Carver, a father of five, studied Education at Louisiana State University. With more than 16 years of experience in Montgomery County schools and in directing high-adventure and summer day camps, Greg brings both expertise and passion to youth programs. He continues to serve his community as a Boy Scout leader, a volunteer with his church’s teen organization, and as a coach for youth basketball, baseball, and football..

Cathey Carver, also a Louisiana State University graduate with a degree in General Business, is a devoted working mother who has raised five children while dedicating herself to teaching and organizing youth programs, conferences, summer camps, and childcare initiatives. Her hands-on leadership and experience have been instrumental in shaping the philosophy of Kids Adventures.

Brian Rindos, a University of Maryland graduate, has more than 30 years of experience directing summer and school-year programs in Montgomery County. He strongly believes that involving children and families in planning creates more meaningful and enjoyable experiences. Brian is also an active member of the Montgomery County Interagency Coordinating Board Committee for Excellence in Child Care and contributes to several pediatric and adolescent health organizations.

Kids Adventures is truly a family-driven program. Three of Greg and Cathey’s children grew up in the program and later returned as staff members during their teen and adult years. Inspired by those experiences, two pursued degrees in education and are now full-time teachers, continuing the legacy of Kids Adventures.
