Keleher Preserve

Not all learning happens in the classroom. In fact, some of the most important and long lasting lessons we can experience only occur in the wild. In this class, students will learn several key skills regarding navigation and wilderness survival. Participants will have to ‘master’ these skills quickly as they will be tested at the end of the class with a final challenge!
