 Do you desire to explore areas that have always interested you? Then come and enjoy traditional outdoor activities like fishing and an overnight canoeing trip, but also focus on a specific area of interest where you will acquire a deeper knowledge of and/or certification in one of the following:

Hunters Safety - earn your Hunters Safety certification, knowledge of safe practices when using a fire arm and hands on practical use of the fire arms including experience at the shotgun and rifle ranges.

Rustic Furniture Building - using mortis and tendon and other natural techniques with supplies you find from the woods around Outpost you will create your own woodworking project.

Jewelry Making - come away with the ability to create custom made earrings, necklaces and rings in addition to your own set of tools.

Pottery - spend time learning the basics of working with clay while making your own piece of thrown pottery both at a local pottery shop and in camp with instructors to build on the knowledge that you have obtained.
