Ranger Apprecticeship
We begin by training in the essentials wilderness survival skills of shelter, water, fire and food. We learn how to take care of all our needs so it is not only sustainable, but our harvest actually helps the land around us.
We then learn to track both animals and even people. We follow bears, bobcats, deer and more. Creating a map of all the wildlife around us.
Finally, using our safe foam arrows and bows, we journey under the leadership of our instructors we finish the day in a giant live action game of stealth.
