Outdoor Cooking, Knots, Knives and New Skills- New Class!
Extended Trip Training

Individuals with previous outdoor camping experience can submit documentation from classes taken, or certification from other organizations to the Adult Development Department. The department will evaluate documentation to determine if the individual can substitute prior experience instead of being required to participate in all of our Outdoor Training courses. This is offered to respect the participant’s documented previous camping skills and experience. Under no circumstances can a volunteer test out of all outdoor camp training.
