Outdoor Adventures with
Meriwether Academy
Mankind has yet to discover anything more fun than exploring the outdoors with your friends and sitting around the campfire at night.
Join us for just that! Our outdoor adventures will teach you all of the fundamental skills needed to have competency in the outdoors, while creating awesome memories and new friendships along the way.
No prior outdoor skills or experience is necessary.
Savage Gulf State Park
Perched on the Cumberland Plateau, Savage Gulf is one of Tennessee’s great wild places: three deep gorges carved by rushing creeks into the sandstone tableland, lined with sheer bluffs, waterfalls, and stands of old-growth forest. Our route follows the rim and backcountry trails to the Hobbs Cabin campsite, where we will make camp for the night before hiking out the next morning.

What Men Say
of Meriwether Adventures
Had a fantastic and memorable time with my son on the father/son hiking and camping trip. Warren is an excellent guide and gifted teacher. I would recommend just about any Meriwether event for men, young and old!
I can’t recommend Meriwether Academy highly enough. I recently participated in a father-son backpacking trip, and the experience was transformative for both of us. The program is a perfect fit for any man looking for a community of peers who strive to be their best and serve as positive role models within their families and communities. It is truly an essential resource for those interested in helping young men develop into men of excellence.
Space is limited. We hope you will join us.
