There is a world that most people miss. It starts with a golden sunrise and the feeling of cold dew on bare feet that awakens the senses. It’s a place free of complaining, whining or excuses. In this world, thankfulness and wonder are more than just words. In this place, a person knows what it feels like to be alive, powerful and full of purpose.

This isn’t your ordinary summer camp. It is far more than that. It is about learning to take the strength of the wolverine, that toughness, perseverance, intensity and sheer will inside of you, ready to be unleashed at a moment’s notice to overcome long odds.

We start with learning about fires, about shelter and wilderness living skills. We add in learning about animals and their abilities that can take our skills to a new level. We’ll learn about people who have found ways to excel under adverse conditions, and do it time and again, using these same principles.

More than anything, it’s about developing inner strengths and resources that allow you to do things that most people wouldn’t consider possible. That’s our focus, our inspiration. And we will do it in a way that works for you.

Many programs teach the basics of survival, (the fire, the shelters, the water issues, the tools and cooking skills, etc.). They might comment on the mental parts of these skills, but they don’t really go into it. This camp does, and we help you pull it all together to become the ultimate in survival and awareness- the wolverine. Welcome to your new world!

Some of the skills and activities listed below form the core of the Wolverine Survival Camp curriculum:
Advanced Survival Shelters
Learn to make your shelter quickly when needed, in areas of little debris or resources.
Perfecting Your Throwing Skills
Throwing sticks, tomahawks, spears and other hunting tools are demonstrated to give you proficiency and correct form that produces results.
Advanced Fire Techniques
Lightning fast tinders, improved bow & drill sets, modern fire starting skills and more.
Earth Philosophy
Using the natural energy of the landscape to become more aware, less fatigued, more intuitive and balanced in your life.
Wolverine Principles
Intense focused energy applied to any situation, which can help in survival, completing a school project or do an outstanding job at work, using the lessons of natural predators.
Survival Pack
We will assemble a simple kit of wilderness survival essentials that fits into a backpack, daypack or large pocket, which can greatly increase your odds of surviving a snow storm, remote location stranding or just being locked out of your house overnight!
Hikes and Exploration
We will learn animal and human tracking, tree identification, wild edible and medicinal plants as well as lost proofing, landscape tracking and best ways to move through difficult terrain (like the wolverine)!
Cooking, Food & Nutrition
We will explore the issues of diet, energy needs in the wilderness, ‘brain food’ and work fuel, as well as how our food choices impact our performance both in the wilderness, in school and in life. A great part of being healthy inside and out.
