Land Base
Our Land Base course is a combination of skills that apply to land navigation and daily survival. The course can be offered in varying lengths, from 1 day to 2 weeks, and can be customized to suit your needs. Skills will range from plant identification, making friction fire, to shelter building, etc. This course can also include a camp as a base or be a community workshop-style experience. During this course, we return to the source material of our ancestral wisdoms and power to grow up with it and explore within it.
Reach out to our team and tailor the experience for the age group and group capability. See you out there.

Intro to Land Base
This is an easy going, fun, introductory experience to the outdoors. It is focused mainly on games, story telling, and fire making. The teams will usually operate out of a central group shelter or a community building if a wilderness area is not accessible. It is a 1-3 day experience. It can also be an intermediate experience, which includes more technical skills like basic orienteering, shelter building and, communications training through original principle-based practices.

Expedition
This is for our fit and adventurous crews. This course is offered only at our camp. It is a 10 day course. The first 3 days are used to build their teams through ABL games, technical skills/safety training, and interpersonal communications training.
