Welcome to the REAL real world
We TALK face to face.
We FEEL the texture of dry leaves, of clay and of sand and cold, fresh water. 
Picture
Birds and boughs, wind and water, frogs and friends are our SOUNDTRACK.
It is a world of infinite information, beyond what we can PROCESS; a web of creatures, plants, fungi, earth and stone.  A world that can stun us with its beauty, and that can be harsh and merciless.

THIS IS OUR CLASSROOM. OUR TEACHER.
Our medium for transformation into responsible, independent people that live by vision.

Testimonials

" He has learned so much from Nick. And not just about primitive skills, but about self control, leadership and facing challenges with a clear head. My son’s confidence has grown by leaps and bounds."
" This has been the best thing I've ever done for my son. He loves every bit of it, foraging for wild foods, building shelters, bow drill fires, sit spots, tracking. He sees the world differently and he's taught me a lot about what he's learned."
"This opportunity has been phenomenal. I am so glad we found out about it. I only wish it had lasted longer."

"Thank you for survival camp. G Has narrated every bit of it- how you make debris shelters, the best kindling for one match fires, and so on and on. It was a fabulous experience for her."
