π₯ Pioneer Camp: Survival Skills
Ages 12β16 | June 22β26 | 9:00 AMβ3:00 PM
New for 2026 and built different.
This is a mentor-led week of real-world skill building at a working farm. Your teen will spend five days doing actual hands-on work, not sitting around, not just watching, and not playing pretend survival games.
Theyβll build, problem-solve, get dirty, learn useful skills, and walk away with more confidence than they came in with.
Hereβs what the week covers:
Fire building and fire safety
Land navigation and map reading
First aid basics
Knife safety and tool handling
Hand tools and supervised power tool use
Real construction projects on the farm
Daily hands-on farm work with the rescue animals at Hidden Bee Farm
This program is led by an experienced Scoutmaster and a commissioned U.S. Army officer. These are mentors who know how to push young people to grow, think, work hard, and laugh while theyβre doing it.
Expect mud. Expect sweat. Expect your teen to come home with real confidence.
