Apprenticeship
Make new friends while learning skills of outdoor leadership. Share in adventures with a team of like-minded peers. With dedication and hard-work, an Apprenticeship can grow into a life-long study of ancient skills:
Wilderness Survival Learn skills of shelter, fire with no matches, and wild plants while immersed in the arts of wilderness survival. Train archery and woodworking for forest craft.
Tracking & Navigation Delve into the amazing world of wildlife by practicing to become a master tracker. Hone the craft of outdoor navigation. Follow the trails of deer, elk, fox, and more.
Stealth & Invisibility Study our special Rangers martial art, the Curriculum of Shadows. Follow an ancient path that teaches lessons of awareness and resiliency through ecology, stealth, empathy, and leadership.
Our Apprenticeship Mentors are experienced educators teaching authentic skills. They are facilitators of thoughtful growth through the power of nature and community.
