Make new friends! Go hiking! Learn new skills! Spend time outside at beautiful locations.

In this apprenticeship style series, join Survival Instructor & Naturalist Ryan Johnson for a deep dive into nature awareness and survival skills. Our cohort will meet once a month for four sessions on Saturdays September 2nd, October 7th, November 4th, and December 2nd.

We’ll cover a wide variety of subjects, including survival basics, fire making, plant id, bird id, wildlife tracking, tool use, sensory/nature awareness, fireside cooking, and more. Sessions utilize a blend of hands on training, interactive activities, and detailed educational content. We will visit a new location each date for this course.
