Meet a group of nature neophytes who crave a true wilderness experience but aren't sure how to get started. This exhilarating reality series challenges our budding adventurers to get off the couch and conquer their fears.

Wild At Heart Participants?
I love this program, and it's inspired me! I want to participate, and this would be a great opportunity to connect with people in Vancouver. I have recently moved here, am single, in my 40's, and I am really interested in finding healthy opportunities to make friends, and get fit at the same time.
How does someone apply for participation? I would love to do the mountain bike program, hiking, kayaking (I am a former outrigger paddler), or water rapid river trips!
You can reach me at 778.235.0485 or by my email at tinajens604@gmail.com.
I hope to hear from you!
