What it's about:
- Provide adventure trips for
organizations, such as scouts, clubs, and
home school associations, so that a sense of
self, group and community dynamics can be
developed.
- Use adventure skills, such as canoeing,
kayaking and backpacking, to discover unique
environments that would only be missed, or
simply could not be reached if traveling by
modern vehicles, such as cars, motorboats or
ATVs.
- Use discovery techniques to research and
study specific flora and fauna unique to the
environment we immerse ourselves into.
Snorkeling, cast netting, using
identification keys and journaling are a few
examples of these techniques.

opportunities in the world. Join us as we
respectfully explore these delicate ecosystems.
