Exciting Announcement: Keep the Gear from The Science of Survival!
We are thrilled to share a fantastic benefit of our Science of Survival program: every family gets to keep the gear used during class! This means that not only will your family gain invaluable survival skills, but you will also receive high-quality equipment to continue your outdoor adventures together long after the program concludes.
Each paid child enrollment includes one free gear kit for the child to keep. Parents attend at no extra cost but do not receive gear kits.
Throughout the course, your child will engage in hands-on activities using essential tools like fire kits, signaling equipment, cooking tins, medical gear, and survival kits. These items are not just tools, they’re gateways to exploration and learning. By allowing families to keep the gear, we aim to extend the educational experience beyond the classroom, encouraging ongoing practice and adventure in the great outdoors.
Imagine the excitement of heading out for a weekend hike or camping trip, equipped with the very same gear your child learned to use in class! This unique feature adds incredible value to our program, ensuring that the skills learned can be applied in real-world situations, fostering confidence and independence. It also keeps them thinking about the next real adventure instead of the next video game.
Join us for The Science of Survival and empower your family with the skills and tools needed for safe and enjoyable outdoor experiences. We can’t wait to embark on this adventure with you!

Why Ages 5 to 12 Are Perfect for Our Program
Our kids’ program is designed for a wide age range, specifically for ages 5 to 12. As a parent, I was originally worried about such a vast age gap, but the TSU Family programs have proven successful over the last six years based on a unique approach. In short, the class is aimed at the whole family, one of our goals is for adult helpers to feel like they received a free class. Having activities aimed at various age groups has proven incredibly successful at bringing families
together for enriching outdoor experiences. This age range is ideal because it encourages teamwork and collaboration among family members, allowing everyone to participate and learn together. We do offer other age-specific and drop-off programs throughout the year, but the heart of this program is getting the whole family adventuring together more.
The TSU Family program is structured to foster family bonding, with some activities that require both kids and adults to work side by side, even the older kids. Some skills can be mastered independently by even the youngest adventurers, while others will benefit from adult guidance, ensuring that parents can continue to support their child’s learning at home after the class.
By including a mix of activities suitable for all ages, we create an inclusive environment where families can grow together. This approach not only enhances learning but also builds lasting memories, making it a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Join us for a journey that strengthens family connections and equips your children with essential skills for the great outdoors!
