Being able to operate independently in the outdoors requires confidence in your abilities and that confidence comes from instruction, practical application and practice. Adventure Alliance provides all these in the disciplines of cross-country navigation and wilderness survival.

Navigating cross-country with a map and compass combines art and science in a way that allows you to interact completely with your surroundings. In fact, to be successful, you must interact with your surroundings, using a multitude of skills and techniques to get you from point A to B in the best way possible. When you know how to navigate, "best" can mean everything from fastest to most scenic; it's entirely up to you.

Just like navigation, a good working knowledge of the fundamentals of wilderness survival can help you on the weekend camping trip just as much as the life-or-death struggle.

If you enjoy being in the outdoors, compete in an outdoor sport, work in the outdoors or would just like to try something that will exercise your mind as well as your body, Adventure Alliance offers a workshop that will fill your need.

Workshops are currently held in the Texas Hill Country, but can be adapted to any location in the country. Each workshop is split into two modules. The first module is in the classroom and the second module is in the field.
