Masterful skills needed to successfully face and survive the unknown, distilled into 6 intensely challenging days of training for you.

It is with purpose we do not give out specific details about camp in order to enhance your extreme survival vacation. It is our goal to help you develop self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-empowerment while facing the unknown. Mark Wienert supplies the knowledge and tools to give you THE EDGE.
Even though you will be on your own and away from our main camp for your overnight adventure, we monitor participants to insure a great experience. Plenty of delicious mountain water is available at all times during all aspects of camp.
“Dear Mark and Celeste,
I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks & gratitude. As you know THE EDGE was a 50th birthday present from my family. Singularly, this was the best gift I ever received. Your camp was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. Your curriculum and intensive training got me well prepared for my solo overnight adventure. I would recommend this camp to anyone young & old alike, male or female.
All the best.” ~ Dr. Dean G. Professor Columbia University
