CAMPCRAFT OUTDOORS IN-PERSON CLASSES & EVENTS
2024 Instructor Certification Program
Background of the Program:
The Campcraft Outdoors Instructor Certification Program, with a proven ten-year track record, has consistently produced some of the top wilderness survival and bushcraft instructors in the outdoor industry today. Other schools and organizations have adopted this program in the “survival space” of the outdoor industry, and the program has received endorsements from the National Home School Association, Men’s Journal, and National Bible College Association. As a faith-based educational program, we specialize in teaching the Biblical why and how of the outdoor skills we share.
Program Purpose:
The initial Certification Program covers the five primary areas of wilderness skills and leadership: Wilderness Survival, Bushcraft and Wilderness First Aid, Urban Survival and Preparedness, Winter Survival Skills, and Teaching and Business Management. Upon leaving this program, graduates will be well-equipped to offer Basic Modern Survival skills and Basic Wilderness First Aid classes to churches, groups, corporations, and individuals. The qualifications included in this program include:
-
Wilderness First Aid (16hr)

*The training credits issued within this program are accredited for bible college credit to schools within the National Bible College Association and National Association of Private Theological Institutions respective networks. These credits may be applied toward completing an Associate's degree in Practical Outdoor Ministry.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will this Certification enable me to hold Campcraft Outdoors classes?
A: No, this Certification recognizes that you have completed a requisite course of study and met the minimum standard to be qualified as an instructor. As an independent instructor, you are responsible for holding your own insurance and operating under your own business identity (which we show you how to create). You will not be a representative or affiliated with Campcraft Outdoors, LLC.
Q: Will this Certification guarantee me a job in the survival industry?
A: No. Like any other certificate or degree, it is simply proof of qualification. Holding this credential will open doors of opportunity because you are certified and endorsed by a reputable training provider, but landing the job falls on you. We are happy to provide a reference.
Q: Will Campcraft Outdoors hire me to run classes in my area once I am certified?
A: No. While we generally work exclusively with our certified instructors at our events, this is not always the case when another organization hosts Dr. Hunt. While you will undoubtedly become our go-to person in a particular region where we will direct students, we do not hire others to run classes.
Q: I am an instructor at another school. Can I get credit for my past training?
A: No. While we appreciate the knowledge and value the experience you have, we train based on our proven and tested curriculum standard. Once you learn and adopt our standard, you can and should expand upon it based on your experience or the region in which you live.
