Cumberland Island
6 Day Adventure!
“Cumberland island was my biggest outdoor challenge Ive ever done so far, and I’m so glad i went because the challenge mixed with a full five days of fun beach days with my best friends I’ll never forget. I recommend it most of all because Kerensa and Scotty are so sincere, patient and encouraging and fun, and the amount of new wildlife we got to see on the island was spectacular and exciting as well.”

Worley’s Cave
Friday, January 17, 2025
Worley's Cave is a gem. It's a great adventure for both beginner and advanced spelunkers. You can walk in and explore for miles passing rooms with beautiful cave formations. The section we will do is mostly walking with some climbing. The cave is perfect for a winter nature excursion, as it stays a constant 55 degrees all year long.
