ATe HISTORY
Fred Cannan, a Naples native was a Captain and US Army Ranger, State Wrestling
Champion, and Keynote Speaker at the 2004 Labor Day Address to Naples. This
Adventure Concept was his creation, his dream. He unexpectedly passed away at 35 on
June 7, 2005. My wife, a US Army Captain, and I, Retired Sergeant Major, Delta Force,
took over the Company and continued this dream.
We realized the Course Fred built was not properly permitted, and want to do the right
thing by building ours correctly, following industry standards. We have been searching
for the right place, and believe we found it. Weare in our third year of business, and
request your assistance in granting us a temporary Permit to establish a challenge course
that we can move when and if it interferes with the County Growth Plan.
In addition to providing youth programs for underprivileged children, we provide
programs for Collier Youth Leadership, High Schools, and Ave Maria Students. We also
bring corporate clients into Naples, who we involve in the history and culture of the area.
We are very environment friendly, we love Naples, and we request that you help us make
this community our home.
