Wilderness Living Program

Thank you for your interest in the Wilderness Living Program this year.  We’ve designed a very exciting program catered specifically for Boy Scouts to learn wilderness living skills, and potentially earn several merit badges if they choose.  The merit badges that would be the most applicable would be Backpacking, Cooking, Camping, Hiking, and First Aid, however we are more than happy to design custom courses with troops catered to other badges.  Contact Chris for more information!

 

Military-Extension Adventure Camps

The Military-Extension Adventure Camp grant is a third party grant that Life Adventure Center of the Bluegrass has received in association with University of Kentucky Department of Family and Consumer Sciences through Purdue University, and The Department of Defense. This grant offers 6 free adventure camps for service member parents and their teenage children to attend together. The camp is open to military families from any state and any branch of the military. This includes Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard. Through this grant, we will be hosting canoeing, backpacking, and other various adventurous camps across the state. These camps will be geared to help military families discover power and confidence within themselves, teach them to exist in the woods, while facilitating the growth and development of family relationships.

Please watch for 2012 opportunities!
