Adventure Eagles is a class for students who love exploring the outdoors around New Albany. We will build shelters, make fires, learn about early survival skills, and explore our outdoor nature areas near New Albany's school campus. Participants will need to dress for the weather, work cooperatively with others, and remain open to new experiences.
