This camp is designed for boys and girls ages 10-15 years old.

This is an overnight camp that is going to provide so many life lessons. Your little leaders will receive their standard issue of equipment that is part of their course registration fee (backpack, med-kit, compass, knot tying book, seatbelt cutter, fire starter, water bottle, headlamp, safety whistle). We will cover the conduct expected of them and from the cadre. We will start with a Prayer followed by the pledge of allegiance, as we will do everyday. We then move to the Clean Eatz farm where we will be for the next 3 days. This is appx 35 miles and or 55 min from camp drop off in Wilmington.

When we arrive at the farm we will break the camp into teams, give a tour of the property then get to work. We will start with how to select a campsite, set up tents, set up expedient security measures. The training will be constant but fun.

Everything we teach will be demonstrated and assisted, building them up to be confident in themselves to apply these techniques when needed. Training/classes will focus on everything they have been issued and include:

Basic medical care, how to set splints, how to apply a tourniquet, how to treat a snakebite, how to assess the patient, how to call 911.
Introduction to land navigation, the different types, how to use a compass and how to always know where you are.
A rope corral set up with the goal to have them master 4 different knots.
Extreme Outfitters will come out on day 2 for Archery Camp. They are going to learn the history of the bow, the different types of archery, how to safely shoot a bow working up to a land navigation hike looking for a 3d target to hunt.
We will use a pool for education including a water safety and survival session. (If your little leader is not comfortable with the water they will not be forced to enter. If this is the case we will work on mastering the skills we have learned to this point.)
Breaking out of restraints, and how to escape from the trunk of a car.
How to change a tire, how to use a seatbelt cutter and safely exit a vehicle.
Running medical scenarios that are going to force them to work together in the "notional" absence of an adult.
There will be games every evening, a baseball diamond for recreation, and MUCH MUCH MORE!

There will be 3 to 5 adults/cadres present at all times. All little leaders will be given an airtag to keep on their body the entire time at camp they will also be issued a handheld radio as well.

Tents, meals and snacks will be provided.

Keep in mind they are camping and space is limited.

Core Values of Life SKILLZ USA

God - Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

John 15:13 man hath no greater love than he lay down his life for his friends.

Faith is missing in so many parts of everyday life. To correct the course and set up the next generation of children to lead and secure our way of life we need to show them a path to Christ.

Family - The family must be a team, a unit that knows each other's strengths and weaknesses. To understand how to lead and how to follow. We need to honor our parents, be respectful, have the courage to ask questions, the humility to receive corrections, and the desire to be the difference.

Country - We live in the greatest nation in the world. I can say this as I have spent 25 years of my life traveling the globe. We must reestablish our Esprit De Corps for our country. We must understand the significance of our flag. To understand that the foundation needed to fix America starts right now with our children.

Expectation & Rules and conduct policy for our Little Leaders

Manners - Be respectful to the instructions and other Camp members. Young men will always hold the doors for young ladies. The oldest in the group will be the last to enter and take the position of group leader. We will demonstrate throughout the week how to lead and how to follow.

Equipment - packs with all issued items must be present with them at the start of every day.

Education - this camp is designed to start making resilient young men and ladies. To create assets from what has previously been looked at as a liability. We will work to teach you many things this week. With the hopes to give the young leaders an improved sense of confidence and situational awareness.

Times have changed:

This part is something I never thought I would ever have to mention. We are respectful of everyone’s beliefs, even if we do not agree. That is the beauty of our country, freedom of choice. This camp is a faith based pro-America and pro-traditional family values. This camp recognizes there are only two genders, biological boys and biological girls. Pronouns will not be recognized, birth names and or nicknames will be how the young leaders will be referred to.

We are a small business that reserves the right to refuse services/business if it violates our core policies. If these values do not align with your beliefs we understand and suggest that the Life SKILLZ camp may not be the camp for you.

Refund Policy

The deposit for all camps is $400.00 per child (included in the ticket price). Due to the pre camp coordination required for each child and limited slots, the deposit is non-refundable. It is only transferable for a case-by-case basis and only if there is a seat in one of the remaining camps. It will not transfer to the following year. If the course is paid in full at sign up the $400 deposit would not be refunded in the event of a cancelation.
