 Prerequisites include being able to write full sentences on their own, with spelling help, and have the stamina to write 10-20 sentences at a time. They should also have some previous understanding of how to research using books or the internet. Their own tablet or computer is required.

The Fine Print: We teach the "real stuff" in real environments, which means safety and readiness are non-negotiable. We Think Outside reserves the right to withdraw any student from a program if our expert team determines they do not yet have the required skill level or readiness for the terrain. Withdrawal may also occur due to missing essential gear/materials, incomplete payments, or conduct issues. We are committed to a high-quality experience, and that starts with ensuring everyone on the trail is fully prepared.
