Knowledge sharing of outdoor skills
CORRIDOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
WHAT WE DO
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
At Corridor Outdoor Adventures, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts sharing knowledge and outdoor skills.
This social assistance organization provides relief for deserving, or the underprivileged, the advancement of education or science. By building outdoor skills we lessen the burdens of government, elimination of prejudice and discrimination, defense of human and civil rights secured by law, and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH
Helping The Community
With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for those with need and desire. With access to the right resources, people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential.
Class topics offerings include: Education in the outdoors, habitat workshops (focused on pollinators including bees, butterflies, insects as well as wildlife), survival skills including (and not limited to) fly fishing, bow fishing, casting, shore fishing, hunting, and mentoring and basic marksmanship initiatives.
