Why Outdoor Learning Matters
Outdoor education is more than a field trip — it’s an opportunity to reconnect with what makes us human. In a world of screens and structured schedules, kids need space to move, explore, and think freely. We use wilderness survival training as a platform for building confidence, leadership, self-reliance, and teamwork.
Whether you're a parent, scout leader, or homeschool educator, our programs create meaningful, unplugged experiences that stick with students long after the fire goes out.
Who We Work With
We tailor private and group programs for:
- Homeschool pods and cooperatives
- Public and private school field trips
- Youth organizations and after-school groups
- Church groups and youth ministries
- Scouting troops (BSA, GSUSA, Trail Life, etc.)
- Families and parent-child teams
Programs are designed to match your group’s age range, goals, time limits, and desired level of challenge. No experience necessary.
Teaching youth about the outdoors is essential for their physical, mental, and social development. Spending time in nature helps young people build a connection with the environment and appreciate the beauty of the world around them.
Hands-On Skills They’ll Learn
Our classes are rooted in real-world wilderness survival, but taught in an age-appropriate, engaging way. Popular topics include:
- Fire-making (primitive and modern)
- Shelter building
- Wild plant walks and natural navigation
- Water sourcing and purification
- Knot tying and camp skills
- First aid basics
- Situational awareness and confidence-building challenges
We focus on fun, safety, and memorable takeaways — not fear-based survival tactics.
Homeschool Groups
We love working with homeschoolers and unschoolers who want to take learning outside the box. Our wilderness programs blend core subjects with adventure:
- Science: fire chemistry, biology of wild plants, basic human anatomy
- Physical education: hiking, navigation, hands-on shelter building
- Social-emotional learning: teamwork, communication, resilience

Youth & Scout Groups
Our instructors are pros at teaching youth in a way that feels like an adventure, not a classroom. Whether you're prepping your scouts for outdoor merit badges or just want a powerful leadership-building weekend, we’ve got you covered.
We’ll adjust the material based on your group’s experience level and goals, and can work with your existing badge or advancement requirements.
Private Family Programs
Sometimes the best bonding happens away from it all. We host parent-child programs and private family training events on our rugged, 5000+ acre campus near Cripple Creek, Colorado.
Want to celebrate a birthday in the woods? Take your teen on a rite-of-passage experience? Learn alongside your kids without phones or distractions? We’ll help you make it happen.
