Our mission is​ to share outdoor knowledge & skills, and help participants develop confidence and competence in the outdoors, with hands-on classes and travel experiences.

​​

To make this happen we have developed a Core Curriculum​ that is part of every class

​

Building Foundational Knowledge 

We want you to be able to go home and replicate the skills you learned. To do this we start from scratch, from learning how to gather and process the materials, to care and use of tools. 

​​​

Connection To The Natural World 

We interact with the world to gather and create. Hands-on is the BEST way to learn about the natural world and our place in it. (Sorry, no Zoom classes)

​​​

Self-Reliance and Resiliency 

Learn what you can do without a lot of fancy tools or money, and with the ability to continue learning on your own. Gain the mental toughness needed to work through problems as they arise. In short, these skills change how you think about problems and challenges in all aspects of your life.

​​​

Connection To Others

Self-reliance is only half of the puzzle. All of our activities strive to build a social network with people of similar interests. It does no good to learn a skill when you can't share it with others.
