Learning, Adventure & Fun! This class is similar to our Driving Essentials class, however vehicle recovery workshops substitute some of the driving time. Watch a recorded presentation covering off road driving technique, skills & tips before your training day. While onsite, you and your instructor(s) put theory to practice on NORA’s natural terrain obstacle courses. Soon after, you are driving on rugged terrain including hills, trees, ledges, rocks and more with lesson stops on the trail. Training is safety focused with themes of people, vehicle and environmental preservation. Your onsite time at NORA is outdoors and in your vehicle. All students must register in advance to attend a class, no ‘walk-ins’ accepted.
Length: 5 hours on-site + 1.5 hour online presentation viewed before your on-site
Location: Your email will be enabled to view the online presentation about 1 week before your class. Onsite training is held at our Ellenville, NY Training Center.
Who: This class is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to learn safe, low speed off road driving techniques and vehicle recovery commonly used in Overlanding and recreational/commercial off road driving. This is also a great family fun experience.
Off Road Driving Experience Level: Participants should have some off road driving experience.
What’s Covered: This two-part class (online presentation & onsite instruction) covers 4 wheel drive systems, driving on various terrain, working with a spotter, minimizing environmental impact and off-road driving safety. Students drive on our obstacle courses and navigate our 75-acre trail networks with instructors and guides walking by their side. There are plenty of natural terrain obstacles used as lesson stops along the way. The class includes a 1-hour workshop on proper, safe use of KE Ropes, Recovery Straps and traction boards for vehicle to vehicle and self recovery.
