In this Into the Outdoors episode, we’re meeting up with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary to learn more about different boating technologies that could save your life in the case of a boating accident. We use technology every day, and there are tons of different tools you should keep on your vessel to aid in the case of an emergency.  Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they head to the marina to learn what items you should have aboard your vessel and what safety precautions you should do before even stepping foot on the dock!

In this Into the Outdoors episode, we’re heading out on the water in a variety of different water crafts! Watersports have gained popularity in recent years, and with more people out on the water, we want to make sure everyone is enjoying the water safely. Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they try out stand up paddle boards (SUPs), kayaks, canoes and personal watercrafts (PWCs), while learning the important safety steps to take before getting in the water.

On this Into the Outdoors episode, we catch our dinner! Bowfishing combines hunting and fishing. Our sights are set on invasive species in the Potomac River near the Virginia-Maryland border. This is a family outing with a twist. First, we will bowfish and then, we will learn how to fry up our catch for a fish fry. We learn more about all of the different species of fish you can target while bowfishing, including large goldfish! 

In this Into the Outdoors episode, our Adventure Team heads out in search of alternative energy resources and how they can make a positive impact on our environment and communities. Adventure Team members – Zach, Aubrey, Chloe and Charlie – learn about the benefits of green technology at home, in the transportation industry and in our communities. Throughout this renewable journey, they discover the impact of a carbon footprint, how energy is transported and how individual action can make a big difference. Join us on this electrifying quest to learn about how our energy works and the ways the industry is becoming greener. 

Boating safety courses are essential for teaching new boaters about the rules of the waterway and how to safely operate a boat, but there are some "unspoken rules" that all members of the boating community should know. From environmental responsibility to helping out your fellow boaters in need, responsible boating involves a lot more than just safety. Boating etiquette is something that is often learned through experience rather than in a classroom, so tag along with Captain Doug and his granddaughter as they head out on the Lake of the Ozarks to learn about proper boating etiquette.
