General Survival
Join us at Rowanwood Farm for Our General Survival course. Which will prepare you for a variety of situations. A number of things can occur at any time (emergency or not) and having survival tools, skills, and the right mindset can mean the difference between life and death for you or another. Learn to stay alive, remain calm, and adapt to conditions you may find yourself in. With a general knowledge of survival, you can feel more confident and secure in an often unpredictable environment.
Learn the Lost Skills of Thriving in Nature
We teach people about the Earth in order to reconnect them to their roots. The classroom could be your property to teach you about your area or you can visit our outdoor classroom nestled in the woods of Sandy Hook, CT.

Look Inside Our Natural Classroom
The instructors Stephen and Gretchen were so informational! With hands on learning and great vibes from the both of them, I left with so much beneficial information and even more gratitude for nature. Definitely will be coming back for advanced learning soon!

I’ve always wanted to learn how to make fire and survive without electricity. Back to nature like our ancestors did. I’m so thankful to learn these skills. Great lessons, great instructors.

My kids were so excited. They loved being outside and in the wild. You could see they took right to it. Stephen is a great teacher. Highly recommended.
