First Circle - What we do

Survival camp features empowering survival skills emphasizing primitive technology. First Circle provides hands-on outdoor training. Training is professional, engaging, and effective.

We believe it's important you have a sense of what it might be like in real survival. We have exercises to expand your senses, movement, and awareness in nature. Training exercises prepare you for situations encountered in outdoor survival conditions.

Primitive Skills

Primitive fire-craft, hunting tools, shelter, and more survival skills are taught at camp.

Foraging

Our emphasis is to share with you what's available on the land. Then how to apply and use what nature offers for our short-term survival and long-term needs.

First Circle

  • shelter - primitive and emergency
  • clothing – layering and natural insulation
  • water – locate, solar - treatment and filtering systems
  • fire – modern and primitive friction fire
  • wild food – plant, insect, and animal
  • wild plant identification
  • survival knife – sharpening, use, and safety
  • primitive tools
  • animal tracking - nature observation
  • demonstrate trapping methods – snare, dead-fall
  • staying found - map and compass
  • survival attitude
  • leave no trace

Imagine being more at home, prepared, and confident in the outdoors then you ever imagined. Each day increases your experience, knowledge, and skill level.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Survival Camp First Circle Student Testimonials

"I was nervous to learn that I would be the only woman at my First Circle. After meeting Mark, his staff, and the other participants, I was immediately relieved of all my worry. Mark and the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable:  worked hard to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment. Because of the kindness and awareness of the six men in the group, I was able to focus all my energy on learning wilderness skills instead of on the fact that I was the only woman. Big thanks to Mark and everyone else for a great experience and fantastic adventure!"    ~Michelle Killingsworth

Survival skills are life skills

"Lifesong Wilderness Adventures provides such a wonderful experience. Whether participating in refresher courses or new courses, I always feel incredibly empowered and confident afterward. Dirt-Time is hard to come by for me due to my day job. Lifesong provides a mix of class and dirt-time that allows for continuous growth and awareness that I can use not just in the great outdoors, but even at home and at work. Thank you, Mark, for being such an inspiring and patient teacher. And to the staff!!! WOW! I might have gained some weight during my week at First Circle Camp. Thank you, Jayson and Robert!!"    ~Roberta Kellis

"I wanted to share with you and your team my thoughts and reaction to Life Song Adventures. When thinking of my experience what comes to mind is magical, awe-inspiring and Life changing.When I got home, I couldn't thank my wife and daughter enough for giving me the gift of Life Song for my 60th birthday. You have given something back to me that I thought I had been lost long ago, the wonder of nature and my place in it. ~Jeff Holden.
