ODIE (OutDoor Instructional Education) was founded by experienced and dedicated local trainers to enhance your whole earth experience. Our services offer outdoor instructional education for backpacking and hiking.
ODIE’s mission is to aid individuals in overcoming obstacles that would otherwise interfere with recreational sports. ODIE seeks to provide basic backpacking knowledge and equipment accessibility as well as to encourage those who have been previously unable to invest time, energy, and expense into starting these hobbies while helping them to become well-equipped to spend time in the back country.
ODIE will offer instruction that includes real world experiences such as basic wilderness first aid, proper equipment use for the type of recreational activity with proper instructional use. Basic navigational, back country cooking and trip logistics skills will be taught with a hands on approach. All course attendees are encouraged to participate with a hands on approach to learn the skill sets necessary to continue with these recreational hobbies. These excursions will be planned by group members and may include travel to a different states.
