Family Survival Course | 2-Day Training

Adventure & Teamwork for the Whole Family

Our Family Survival Course (2 days with overnight stay) is specially designed for parents with children. This is not about extreme forced marches, but about learning important survival skills together as a family, experiencing adventures, and growing closer.

In a pleasant environment, with experienced and pedagogically trained instructors, we will show you step by step how to navigate nature – with lots of fun, team spirit, and safety.

Who is the Survival Weekend suitable for?

• Beginners who want to learn the basics of survival

• Families who want to experience an adventure together

• Outdoor enthusiasts who want to refresh their knowledge

• People who are also interested in crisis preparedness & bushcraft

In the basic course, it's not about overcoming your inner weaker self and completing brutal, kilometers-long marches. Our goal is to use nature, learn elemental skills, and understand how to deal with various crises, emergency situations, or circumstances. You develop an awareness for it and strengthen your self-confidence to survive in nature.

Discover Nature with Us

We invite you to learn from us how to cope in and, above all, with nature. With modern methods and high-quality equipment from renowned manufacturers, we teach you how to survive in nature, regardless of weather and temperature.

Our courses take place in all weather conditions – only in case of storms or severe weather do we reschedule dates.

Families and Children

As fathers, we know how important it is to bring our children closer to nature again and let them be children again - children who can get dirty, romp around, and know how to behave in the forest. There are more and more children today who haven't even really walked through the forest off the beaten paths - we say: It's time to change that!

General Information:

• Parking is directly on our meadow by the forest.
• If you stay overnight, you can either sleep in a self-built shelter/lean-to or bring a tent etc. We have more than enough space. A large meadow is also available, you can also sleep in your car or motorhome.
