Why Choose a Custom Survival Skills Class?

Scheduling a custom survival skills class is a fantastic option because it allows families and youth from farther away to create their own classes closer to home. This makes it easier for participants to access valuable wilderness education without extensive travel. Additionally, custom classes provide an excellent opportunity for homeschool groups to learn together in an engaging, hands-on environment while enjoying the outdoors.

How do I find a group of families? 

Sometimes you may not have or know enough people who want to join a group class. That’s okay! We can help reach out to families in your area through our network to see if there is anyone interested in joining your location. 

How do I book a group? 

We have made the booking part simple. I know the last thing anyone wants is to try and book for other families, especially if you don’t know them. Once you have the required number of students or families, simply add each family and their emails to the group form and we will take care of the rest. The group form is located here:

How to Book a Custom Class

Start by gathering a group of interested participants. Once your group is ready, submit the group form with the names and emails of each family or student. After submitting the form, we will send out a group email containing the class outline and payment instructions. Once payment is received, each family will receive a confirmation email securing their spot in the class.

Once registration is completed your group has 7 days to pay before the registration expires. If registration expires dates will no longer be held & you’ll need to resubmit registration and may need to choose new dates.
