What is a Mentor you might ask?

What do we do different?

We believe that empowering people to learn things is the secret to create a positive and healthy life style.  We are constantly looking to find new and fresh ways to reach kids and parents and create that connection with the outdoors.  Today kids spend 7.5 hrs a day in front of screens.  This means that they are not spending that time outside, rather inside being inundated with advertising and constant character molding messages.  We have seen how if given the tools kids will choose to spend quality time outdoors rather then in front of screens.  Video games and the Internet have their place, but that place should not be molding and shaping children; it should be for entertainment purposes in small doses.  We are here to empower people to take the resources right out their back door and create positive life changing memories that will strengthen relationships.  In a time when the Video game industry is making 35.2 billion dollars a year from game sales; we will show you how a few hours of your time can have a priceless effect on your kids.  We will put the tools in your hands and create a positive experience for you and your family. Then you will be able to  recreate this experience.

Events

We hold events to promote the healthy education of kids and families in the outdoors.  We cover all of Minnesota.  Before we begin every event we take a moment to remember what America is all about.  We remind people that we are able to enjoy these events because of those who fought/fight for our freedoms.  We have groups bring in the Colors.  We bring in educational tools to allow kids and adults to learn what the outdoors has to offer and how they can tap into their local resources to continue having successful outdoor experiences. We provide the gear and trained staff to teach the proper and safe ways to use the equipment.  Some of the things we do are:
