Children Need Adventure to Grow

Awaken curiosity and wonder through fun, hands-on, skills-based experiences that prepare kids to thrive in life.

Instill Confidence

Build Character

Love Learning

Have Fun

Many kids lack the PRACTICAL skills needed to navigate life.

Parents worry that their kids aren’t equipped to face life’s challenges. And, planning the character-building activities they need to grow can be difficult. Kid’s shouldn’t face life unprepared!

EQUIP YOUR CHILD TO THRIVE.

With Practically Equipped, children become self-assured and confident by completing fun, hands-on, skills-based experiences. They’re transformed into resourceful, joyful learners. When kids gain confidence through experience, they thrive in the adventure of life. Your kids will:

Learn NEW Skills

From wilderness survival to sustainability—kids learn practical skills that equip them to excel in many circumstances.

USE THEIR HANDS

Learn to create fire, set a snare, filter drinking water, and more. Children participate in engaging, hands-on activities.

Get Outside

The majority of our experiences are best experienced outdoors—head to the woods, the mountains, or your back yard!

Develop Grit

Children develop courage and perseverance as they push past their comfort zones and complete new and challenging tasks.

Love Learning

Curiosity and wonder are awakened as children master new skills. Learning becomes a fun and fulfilling adventure!

Be Transformed

Practical, hands-on skills lead to life-long character traits—self-assuredness, bravery, wonderment, and joy.

Just like you, WE WANT KIDS TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.

Our team of virtual guides has a passion for seeing children grow through hands-on discovery. We are educators, youth program leaders, curriculum writers, and wilderness guides. Join us on the Practically Equipped adventure!
