The Outlander is the first of our new Challenge Course series. Designed for experienced people who want to test themselves in a realistic situation but also have the safety that traveling as a group provides, our challenge courses will push well beyond the comfort zone. The Outlander is a summer F-F-F course. We'll be foraging, fishing and fasting as we travel by canoe on seldom-used routes of northern Maine carrying minimal gear, including only the clothes we're wearing and a small tool kit. We won't be traveling for the sake of distance, but rather to seek out different resources along our journey. Each night is a different shelter, each day a search for food and materials to make a comfortable existence. Such an experience offers advanced students learning experiences that can be had in no other way. Participants rely on their skills and the bounty of the forest to provide for their needs and comfort, not a pack full of goodies. The following is recommended list of skills for those contemplating participation on a Walkabout:
This is a recommended skills list, not a requirement. The more skilled you are, the more enjoyable the experience will be. NOTE: No fish and game laws will be broken during the course. Fishing is available for those with a valid Maine fishing license, and can be exceptional at times. Register Now

What is included with the tuition: Included in the tuition are all camping fees, and group gear. What is not included with the tuition: Not included with the tuition are personal gear, items from town, knives (if you choose to purchase one) and any food or meals other than the group meals. Course Insurance: Adventure travel and wilderness education are not inexpensive, and anything can happen when we're in the bush. We recommend that all participants have medical insurance. We also recommend you protect your investment with travel insurance for trips and tuition insurance for courses. Tobacco: Smoking is not permitted in or near any buildings. All cigarette butts are to be placed into the metal can provided. Vehicles and Parking: We're located .6 miles down a gravel road.

Other: Please don't bring any pets or illegal drugs. Questions? Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
