Courses ⌖
Go Deeper. Train Harder. Learn for Life.
WildFront Courses are immersive, multi-day experiences designed to push your skills, sharpen your mindset, and deepen your connection to the land. Unlike one-day workshops, these courses provide a layered learning environment—combining theory, field application, and group mentorship over several days in the wild.
Whether you’re focused on survival, bushcraft, navigation, or long-term preparedness, our courses are built for those who want to walk away with real-world confidence and practical capability.
Mindset Training
These courses shape more than just your skills—they build mental toughness, problem-solving, and wilderness awareness.
Field-Ready Prep

Take It With You
Every course includes field notes, reference materials, and post-course support to help you keep building on what you’ve learned.
Multi-day format for deeper learning
Includes both instruction and field challenges
Skill progression across a variety of modules
Overnight experiences in real backcountry terrain

Immersive Learning
Courses go beyond basics—offering layered instruction, real field scenarios, and time to truly absorb the skills.
Live What You Learn
Expect early mornings, campfire debriefs, and overnight stays in wild conditions. This is hands-on training, the WildFront way.
Progress with Purpose
Courses are structured to build skills over time, helping you move from curiosity to capability with every step.
