Not all of us grew up wandering about in the forest, camping off-grid with family and friends, and checking off lists of summits, but everyone deserves to enjoy the outdoors and feel confident doing so! In this Southeast and Seacoast series, there will be no assumptions and no judgement, just learning, connecting, and accomplishing!

This is part 2 of the Beginner Outdoor Series! To register for this series, please begin by registering for the the first session, and go from there. See you again soon!
