Introducing individuals to different aspects of the Minnesota outdoors

Our hands on and educational programs introduce individuals to different aspects of Minnesota outdoor activities. Our programs eliminate all barriers and burdens that may otherwise prevent someone from taking part. Working with all ages, genders, races, or any other specific designation, we simply aim to get as many willing participants as possible.

Big Fish & Fry, an introduction to ice fishing program, was the first of our programs to be established in winter of 2016. This program was followed by the implementation of Ardent Archers, and introduction to archery deer hunting program, in the fall of 2017. Most recently in Spring of 2019 we launched Ardent Alpinists, an introduction to rock climbing program. The culminations of these programs are the content that makes up The Ardent Outdoor Group. Ardent OG officially received 501c3 non-profit status in 2018.
