We're doing something a little different this summer - kids' programming that doesn't require any weeklong commitments!

Sign up for as many or as few days (or weeks) as you'd like, and/or have your kids join in on any of the one-off trips we take, regardless of how many times they come to the CLC.

It's been a crazy summer here at Thrive Outdoors! Yesterday, Rachel, Lila, Miles, and Toby got their hands dirty with campers making tie-dye, and they're doing another round of Chopped today for Foodie Friday.

Meanwhile, Jake and Melanie had a great overnight with MPAL out in Greenfield doing some campfire cooking, swimming, and maybe a little sleeping. But, only very little. πŸ˜΄πŸ˜†

LOTS of big changes underway at the Community Leadership Center!

East Coast Evolution Leadership 06/14/2023

There are a LOT of big changes happening with Thrive Outdoors - and we're finally ready to share the one that's been in the works for months.

There's a reason Mindset (and remaining positive) is the first pillar of our Big Five. πŸ˜‰

"Those who face challenges with a positive outlook and are able to manage their emotions are already well on their way toward longevity.”

People who live longest share these 2 traits, say authors who studied Japanese 'secret' for 'a long and happy life' "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life," highlights the practices of some of the longest-lived people. Here are two things they have in common.

Our Story

What we do is simple: Utilize experience, study, knowledge, and time-tested techniques to teach people how to manage stress, lead effectively, create team culture, and connect with the natural world for a better understanding of all of the above.

Collectively Thrive Outdoors has over 30 years of outdoor and survival skills experience. Our instructors (myself included) know and love nature. But more importantly, we love passing our knowledge on. From the basic knowledge needed to enjoy a hike in the woods to the advanced skills necessary for extreme case survival we will cater our classes to your needs and desires.

Thrive Outdoors is not just for the wild. Our programs, curriculum, and core values are designed for everyday life. We are - at our heart - a leadership, stress management, life navigation, and team building school that utilizes the core principles of survival - and nature whenever possible - to help individuals, organizations, businesses small and large, and everyone beat stress, manage life, and move forward confidently in any situation.

Thrive Outdoors offers large classes, one on one sessions, school aged courses, corporate retreat agenda's, and anything in between. We can follow a plan of your creation or design a curriculum perfect for your needs.

Don't get caught in a bad situation without the knowledge and confidence to not only survive, but to Thrive Outdoors. And don't go through life without learning our simple steps to manage stress and deal with anxiety.
