Explore our full lineup of wilderness survival courses, bushcraft classes, and outdoor skills training in the Colorado backcountry. From approachable, family-friendly programs to advanced, scenario-based challenges like our 50-Day Wilderness Immersion, these courses are designed to meet you where you’re at and take you further.

Whether you're learning alongside your kids, just getting started with the basics, or ready to push yourself into uncomfortable territory, we offer training that’s grounded, real, and adaptable. Our instructors focus on practical, hands-on skills like fire starting, shelter building, navigation, foraging, and field medicine, all taught in real wilderness environments.

Most of our courses are suitable for both beginners and experienced adventurers, and many are structured to allow students to challenge themselves at their own pace.
