11:30am – 1:30pm Onsite + One Hour Virtual Presentation

Learning, Adventure & Fun – our Intro class hits all three! Participate in a live online presentation or watch a recorded class covering off road driving basics before your training day. While onsite, you and your instructor(s) put theory to practice on NORA’s natural terrain obstacle course.  Soon after, you are driving on beginner woodland terrain including hills, trees, rocks and more.  All training is safety focused with themes of people, vehicle and environmental preservation.  To mitigate pandemic risks, your time at NORA is outdoors and in your vehicle. All staff and guests must wear face coverings and maintain social distancing.
