Learning how to build a fire in the Kids' Course

Survival and outdoor skills course for kids:

Cost: $125  (includes gourmet meals, drinks, snacks, and ice cream social)

Our Kids Course is only available to a Registered Parent or Guardian, and a parent or guardian is required to remain at the conference for the entirety of the time their children are attending the Kids Course.
We limit our kids course to 20 children and we always fill this course, so sign up early to secure spots.


Our talented Faculty will take turns teaching sessions. The kids will learn many survival and outdoor skills.

  • Fire-starting techniques
  • Ropes and knots
  • Climbing basics, including some rappelling
  • Basic First Aid
  • Much, much more!

The kids survival/outdoor skills course is open to all kids older than 7 yrs old. It is geared towards children age 8-16. We found that older teens prefer to sit in on the main course.
