WILDERNESS STUDIES
Archery
After being instructed in the steps from preparation through reflection, students have the opportunity to practice international style target archery in an outdoor setting. Discovery's archery instruction follows the curriculum developed by their partners Texas Parks and Wildlife and National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP).
Orienteering
Students will practice the use of a map and compass and apply their newly acquired knowledge by navigating one of Discovery's compass courses through the forest to decode a secret message before time runs out.
Outdoor Living Skills
A variety of activities led by experienced Discovery instructors will give students the chance to experience the reality of being in the wilderness on more than 1100 acres of natural pine and hardwood forests. Variations of this course may include shelter building, fire building, wild edible foraging, and trapping.
Canoeing
Students will learn proper stroke techniques, and then will practice their skills as they enjoy the scenic beauty from their tandem canoe. We also offer Stand Up Paddle Boards for groups that are looking for a little bit more of a challenge.
