There are mantras we choose to live by, a few of ours are “struggle builds character, no struggle no character.” Followed immediately by the Hindu proverb “suffering is the sugar of life, it sweetens everything.” But I think Henry David Thoreau said it best.  Life is for living, not to be viewed from a TV screen or your phone.  If adventure is your drug, or maybe life's gotten complacent and soft around the edges, then we welcome you to enlist in one of our “Man Up” wilderness survival skills camps.  

Prior to the event, we will get you in fantastic shape for our multi day treks.  Then, our instructors will immerse you in the wilderness, off the grid in some of our hemispheres exotic locations.  Our instructors will teach key survival tactics that modern urban life has effectively rendered extinct.  In addition to honing your basic camping, hiking, mountain biking & river skills, you will learn new ones.  We will teach you to navigate with map, compass and ropes.  You'll learn how to “Macgyver” shelter, water, fire and food for a unique and challenging experience of a lifetime.  To keep things interesting, you will learn 101 skills with a knife, from fire building to self-defense.  So if life has become a little dull, then you're ready to “Man Up” we’re ready to help you "evolve" back to a stronger, tougher and more appreciative (of the small comforts in life), YOU!**

**Participants must pass standardized fitness requirements in order to participate in treks
