WALK-A-BOUT PROGRAMS

Walk-A-Bout programs are developed through experiential learning. Building essential skills that create confidence and a sense of accomplishment by learning life and survival skills. This will bring new unexplored experiences that will make a difference in your outlook in life and bring a new adventure to talk about to your friends and family.

Understanding the basics of survival builds a relationship with nature and in turn, builds a stronger relationship with yourself and others. Creating awareness having a better sense of your surroundings and preparedness for the unexpected. Understanding the importance of one’s mindset in a survival situation. Becoming more conscious of the human impact on this planet and moving in harmony with it.

The obsessive dependence on technology and modern-day conveniences has contributed to us becoming a lost society and lack of self-reliance. It has distanced and separated society and especially our children from the wonders of nature and all her teachings. Every living thing is considered a valued life of existence.

The goal is to create future protectors, advocates, and leaders. Learning wilderness survival to reconnect with nature in a harmonic way can be achieved.

Walk-A-Bout programs include wilderness survival, learning geology, the importance of our ecosystem, and environmental and wildlife education. It is the ultimate fun and explorative adventure and educational experience for learning.

Walk-A-Bout Programs develop key leadership skills while building confidence and resilience. This helps overcome fears, challenges, and adversities that we all face today and from our past and prepares us for the future. More importantly, it’s building a deeper relationship with ourselves and a sense of achievement which profoundly develops self-growth and awareness for both our Children and Adults.
