Jeep will introduce its first-ever Jeep Adventure Academy to provide off-road driving instruction to Jeep 4×4 owners, the automaker announced. Beginning this October, the Jeep Adventure Academy will take place in select locations across the country and will be led by off-roading experts and prominent instructors from Jeep Jamboree USA. Participants will learn off-roading basics and even more about their Jeep brand vehicle’s capability, while building confidence and connections within the Jeep brand community of adventure seekers, the company said.

Jeep Adventure Academy classes will focus on several essential areas of off-roading instruction, including 4×4 system basics, driving techniques, trail etiquette, vehicle preparation and equipment, how to properly read terrain and challenging obstacles, safety tips and more.
