All students may arrive the day before class and camp out at no extra cost. You’re welcome to bring whatever kind of sleeping equipment you’d like (tent, hammock, sleeping bags, etc.). You can sleep in primitive shelters we construct during the class, but bring modern shelters in case you change your mind. You will most likely be camping fairly close to your vehicle and shouldn’t expect to hike in long distances. Please text or call us at (417) 522-8172 if you have any questions.

Every class starts at 8:30 am and ends roughly at 5:00 pm each day depending on the training for the day. Your car will be nearby, so you can store food and other items there. You’ll have an hour for lunch each day and you should be prepared to cook in the field. Food will be available locally after class is over, but you won’t have time to go eat anywhere for lunch.
