Bear Archers

Bear Archers was built on the foundation of teaching survival skills for youth in a real-world setting. By combining outdoor activities with leadership training, our programs help young men build confidence, teamwork, and essential survival skills that are necessary for navigating any challenge, whether in the wild or in life.

​

Here’s why these programs stand out:

• Hands-On Learning: Both programs are designed to offer practical, real-world experiences where young men develop skills through doing, not just learning theory.

​

• Mentorship Opportunities: Bear Archers benefit from mentorship provided by Bear Captains, allowing them to learn from older peers who have already mastered the survival skills for youth.

​

• Focus on Leadership and Responsibility: Our programs don’t just teach outdoor skills—they also focus on developing the character and leadership qualities that make for strong, self-sufficient individuals.

​

• Building Resilience: Whether it’s overcoming obstacles in the wilderness or learning how to survive in a survival situation, both programs teach young men how to push through adversity and stay calm under pressure.

​​

• Real-World Application: Our programs go beyond the basics of wilderness survival and incorporate emergency preparedness and economic mobility opportunities, setting the stage for future career success and responsible leadership.
