Find Your Mariners Adventure
Mariners is a journey through traditional outdoor skills and water-based exploration. Dive into these core subjects:
Fishing & Foraging Cast your line in lakes, rivers, and ponds. Hunt for crawdads in creeks and streams. Cook what you catch over a fire or camp stove.
Boating & Water Skills Paddle boats and explore the waterways. Learn to launch and land your craft safely. Boating usually takes place on one day per camp.
Navigation & Wayfinding Use maps, compasses, and natural landmarks to chart your course. Navigate through forests and along winding shorelines.
