We provide outdoors skills, risk management, first aid, CPR, WFA, and BLS training for outdoor educators, scout units, mountain bike teams, churches, community groups, and others who lead groups in remote settings.
Classes are taught as close to cost as possible with profits rolled back into new teaching gear or applied to cover the cost of training scholarships. Instructors and assistants are reimbursed for their expenses.
We are based in Decatur, Alabama, and routinely offer courses across central/north Alabama and middle Tennessee.
