  • Kids' Survival Saturday Classes

    Join us for an exciting day of wilderness survival in the woods! Our youth day classes, designed for ages 10-17, offers a hands-on experience where young adventurers will learn essential skills for thriving in the great outdoors.

    During the classes, kids will:

    Learn Survival Basics: From building shelters to finding and purifying water, our experienced instructors will teach kids fundamental survival techniques that could one day save lives.

    Explore Nature: Guided by our knowledgeable staff, children will have the opportunity to explore the natural wonders of the woods, learning about local flora and fauna along the way.

    Engage in Fun Challenges: Through interactive games and challenges, kids will put their newfound skills to the test while having a blast with friends in a safe and supportive environment.

    Foster Confidence and Resilience: Our wilderness survival class is designed to instill confidence and resilience in young participants, empowering them to tackle new challenges with courage and determination.

    Leadership: Keeping the ages broad in this class is not by accident. In these classes, the older and more experienced students are guided into leadership positions and practice their leadership skills with the younger students. All students are supervised at all times.

    No prior experience is necessary—all skill levels are welcome! Join us for a day of adventure, exploration, and learning in the heart of nature.

    Spaces fill up quickly, so reserve your child's spot today and embark on a journey of discovery in the great outdoors!

    These classes happen once a month on a Saturday. Every third month, there's a 2-day course where kids stay overnight at the camp. They'll also learn about plants, hunting, trapping, and cooking wild game. Classes run from 9 am to 4 pm, and every 3rd month we hold the 2-day camp that runs from 9 am on Saturday to 4 pm the next day. The instructors also focus on building respect, discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills. Ultimately, we aim to help kids become responsible and positive members of society.

  • Out of the Woods Youth Development

    I've met many adults who never learned basic skills like changing a car tire, using tools, reading a pressure gauge, etc. They didn't have anyone to teach them.

    That's where I come in.

    When I'm not teaching in the forest, I'm also building houses, fixing vehicles, and mentoring adults and children. In these small group or private sessions, your child can learn these skills hands-on.

    If they want to learn to use tools, they'll use them. If they're interested in hunting, we'll spend a day in the woods studying the terrain and animal tracks and trails.

    Classes are based on the the age of the student and by the topics requested by the parents and/or the student. Message us to discuss specific topics for your child to learn.
