“THANK YOU!!!!”
“After picking my teenage son up from the last day of camp, he exclaimed, "I love this camp. It shows me that I am much more capable than I previously thought!" The continuation of skills, and growth individually and as a group is an opportunity for my son that I will continue to invest in and encourage others to as well.”

“I feel lead to share with you guys how much you have helped with my son. I really hope that you can both see the confidence and new posture Trevor is showing! You have truly helped my son in so many ways. Thank you for the giving of yourselves in the ways that you teach and I hope that you all know, that what is being taught is far beyond Survival Skills. You impact each individual child in such a way that it helps them grow and mature into their character. God Bless You all.”

“I think most of all Jordan gained confidence. He came home feeling like he could be a leader. He's excited about the possibility of next summer.
Thanks for all you do with the kids each year.”

“I’m not sure what y’all did, but Kaleb has seriously been a different kid. He’s been helpful today, non combative- it’s been awesome!”

“I sent my “indoors” daughter to Piked Antler’s camp in 2020 in hopes that she would find some interest in something other than TV, and I hoped that she would also see she can be stronger than she thinks she can. She has definitely shown her mom and me that she’s scared to get out of her comfort zones because she might fail.
I am the videographer for Piked Antler, so I got to see first hand how they worked with my little girl. Though it was hard to watch her struggle through the “Challenge Course,” it was clear as day to me, she was growing, right there in front of my eyes. I could see that the instructors’ hearts wanted to make it easier for her, but they held up to their own standard and let her push through. Watching this happen was a big moment in both of our lives. Thank you Will and the Piked Antler Staff.”

“This experience was transformational for my niece last summer as she struggled with middle school peer pressure - she emerged from this camp with self esteem and self reliance and the “one degree” of change made all the difference as she entered high school
I was so impressed with the program that I invited Will to host on my farm, closer to Asheville.
No excuses parents! Easy access Wilderness experience!”
-Shannon Hunter
“My only regret is that I didn't find this sooner. I feel blessed to have something like this available for my child and our community. Can't ask for better guys to work with your kiddos. Learning important life skills, and making forever friends is a win! Can’t wait until next time Piked Antler!”
-Misty Pooler
“Caleb grows each year at these camps both in skills and confidence. It builds him, challenges him & allows him to see his capabilities in different areas. It girds him as a young man, becoming a man, and helps him to be strong, self-reliant and confident.”

“From August 9th -13th, 2021, my son Jonathan participated in one of Piked Antler Project’s summer survival camps which are taught by William White (an excellent teacher and veteran) & his staff. There's so many wonderful things I could say about this gentleman and the classes they teach. One thing truly profound is how these guys took this band of young kids, who come from different areas, homes, live'’ and personalities, and made them A Team! REALLY AWESOME JOB GUYS!!!
My son learned so much and he didn't fight to go, which for an introvert & video game kid, that was a big feat. I also realized my son learned something that I've been trying to teach him the last several years, which is how to be assertive & commanding without getting angry and hostile. I've personally witnessed my son assert himself towards his nephews without getting angry and/or verbally hostile. As his parent, I am truly astonished at how much my son looks up & respects these two men. Thanks guys for being awesome role models and for sharing & teaching folks the vital skills, wisdom and knowledge it takes to stay Alive as Long as You can in a survival situation! Looking forward to next year.”
