Team Adventure Race Training: Coaching and instruction for teams wanting to participate in any size adventure race.  We cover land navigation, mountain biking, paddling, ropes and just about all other activities that might be included in adventure racing. Call for pricing packages and group discounts.


Land Navigation Training
: The typical class includes a classroom section where you will be introduced to a topographic map and its specific language, the compass and how it works, and route finding. After we have completed this section of the class, you (or your group) along with the instructor will go outside and use the skills to find check points. The instructor will help with the questions you will have when going from lecture to practical.The final step will be a solo (or group) navigation test. Using map and compass, you will go on a solo (or group) navigation class, where you will try to find as many points as you can in a certain amount of time.  I will place a sealed GPS in your pack that you will not use, but will track your every move. When you return to camp, we will take the GPS out of your pack and download your every move. We will talk about what you did right, and where you went astray.  This is a great tool in showing you how to improve your navigation. Call for pricing packages and group discounts.

 

Corporate team building: We use the great outdoors and adventure based activities to help first, uncover traits that might or might not be advantageous to a healthy corporate environment. After we uncover these traits, we go through the process of getting the team to understand and work together to reach a common goal. This might involve teamwork, loss of egos, and trust of other workers.

Pre marriage counseling: Marriage is a serious commitment and many of us get married young and in the midst of fining out just who we are. Our goal is to let the couples get a glimpse of what the “good times” and  “bad times” might bring. We use adventure-based activities to bring out the good and bad in the couples. We organize, instruct, and deliver the adventure part of this program making notes of the journey we take. We then hand the couple, as well as the notes, over to a licensed marriage counselor for discussion. This type of journey is a great way to get to know your partner! Call for pricing packages and group discounts.

 

Endurance sport course planning: Done in conjunction with B&R Adventure Racing Concepts, we can organize events centered around adventure racing, adventure running, mountain biking and kayaking. Some of the different levels of work that we can do:

  1. Planning the course: You tell us the location and distances you want and we will plan the course out on a topographic map. Call for pricing.
  2. Course checking: Maps can be old and things change. Once we put it on the map, we can go out and check the course to make sure land ownership has not changed and that the trail or dirt road that is on the map is actually there. We will adjust the course on the map if we participate at this level. Call for pricing and multiple service discounts.
  3. Course setting: Once we put in on the map and check it, we can mark the course prior to the event. Call for pricing and multiple service discounts.
  4. Course take down: After the event will return the land to the state it was prior to us marking the course. Call for pricing and multiple service discounts.

Ranch/property marking: Using a topographic map and GPS, we can mark property boundries, roads, trails, deer blinds, lakes, and just about anything else you would like us to put on your custom property map. Do you really know everything about your property?? You will after we map it!
