What is First, Second and Third Circle Camp?    First Circle Camp is our introduction to wilderness survival training. This camp is for the beginning adventurer, as well as for the experienced outdoor man or woman who wishes to learn and apply primitive survival skills in the wilderness. The successive Second, Third and Fourth Circle ~ Rites of Passage, bring you full circle in the Sacred Circle of Life with each camp increasing your confidence, knowledge and skill.      For more information go BACK to the camp pages.

What is THE EDGE?  If you have been looking for a camp to rival Man vs. Wild, now is your chance.  THE EDGE is an extreme adventure camp that will challenge you mentally and physically. 

What is a Mini Camp?  Mini Camp is a shortened version of our First Circle Camp. 

What is a Custom Camp?   It is anything you want it to be within the parameters of Lifesong Adventures' philosophy.  It can be one person or more.  We do limit depending on the request.  Corporate consultations on site are not limited.

What experience or condition do I have to be in to attend any camp?    Students are NOT required to have any outdoor experience to attend our regular camps or to be in great shape, with the exception of our THE EDGE which requires a physicians release.   This is not a boot camp, though exercising lightly and walking everyday before your camp date will increase your comfort throughout the whole experience. If you have never camped before, please don't worry, you are in for a real treat!

Who may attend Mini Camps?    ADULTS only, 18 and older.  We limit attendance to 10 participants.

Who may attend Custom Camps?    ANYONE.  Attendance is not limited for custom camps.  These are basically "design" your own.

Who may attend Family Camp?    Children between the ages of  9 and 13 with one adult,  parent or guardian.  We limit attendance from 4 to 8 families.

Who may attend Teen Camps?    We offer two co-ed camps for teens. One for ages 14-15 and   one for ages 16-17.  We limit attendance from 4 to 10 teens per camp.

What will the weather be like?   Camps are at high elevations and during several seasons. 

For this reason we encourage you to go to the following link http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ for up to date information concerning localized weather.  Generally we experience mild temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night. 

How do I get to camp?    If you plan to travel by air, there is an airport nearby in Medford, OR, where we will pick you up.  You may also travel by train or Greyhound Bus Lines which brings you right into the MT Shasta area. Roundtrip shuttle service from the Bus or Train station is free.  Roundtrip shuttle service from the Medford airport is $75.   We are more than happy to help you make travel arrangements, just go to the contact page and send us an email or give us a call at 530-859-0539.

What do I need to bring to camp?     Upon receipt of your registration and full tuition payment we will mail you a confirmation packet, which includes a health form, liability waiver, camp location map, and an itemized list of gear for you to bring to camp.  The list will include such items as:  camera, notebook, day pack etc. to help make your experience more comfortable and enjoyable.  A tent and sleeping bag is required for all courses unless otherwise stated.

If you do not possess this equipment, other options are available, please contact us. 

Do you provide meals for me at camp?   "Yes we do!"  We provide excellent wholesome organic and free range foods for each camp. The majority of your meals will consist of pasta, soup,  whole grain bread, fruit, vegetables, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate of course.  We do offer meat and fish when possible, but due to the difficulty of storing easily perishable foods in remote camp settings, we provide a generally vegetarian fare.  We take pride in our food at camp, it is always delicious, even down to the "worm" soup!  Just kidding! Our cooking is done over barbecue, propane stoves, and with Dutch ovens.

The exception to this is our MINI CAMPS.  We do not provide meals, but we do send you a list of convenient food items.  A cooking area and dish washing station will be provided.

DISCOUNT POLICY:  Any applicable discounts will be credited to you at the end of each course completed.

Lifesong Wilderness Adventures is not responsible for airfare or any other transportation cost incurred by a student whether or not a camp is cancelled.
