Who is the Rangers Program for?

The Rangers program is for students aged 14–18 who are ready to advance into deeper levels of bushcraft, survival, and outdoor leadership. This stage is ideal for students who have begun building a foundation in outdoor skills and are ready to take their training to a deeper level — mastering firecraft, navigation, foraging, shelter design, and other advanced field practices.

Rangers are not only learners but leaders. Each student is expected to demonstrate maturity, teamwork, and initiative in the field. As part of the program’s emphasis on stewardship and service, every Ranger will participate in two mentorship sessions over the course of the year—one during the Fall term and one during the Spring—assisting younger groups (Sprigs or Pioneers) and passing on the skills and knowledge they have gained.

This program is ideal for students who love challenge and responsibility. We help raise up students who are capable of teaching, guiding, and protecting others. At its core, the Rangers program seeks to cultivate faithful stewards of God’s creation (Gen. 2:15) who use their knowledge and abilities to serve both people and God’s creation.
