Anvil Adventure Camp: Summer 2026!

Anvil Adventure Camp – Summer 2026

For Boys Ages 9–14
Limited to 32 Young Men

Anvil Adventure Camp is a high-intensity, survival-based leadership experience designed to stretch boys physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Directed by Army veteran Josh Laud, this first annual expedition combines controlled adversity, practical skill-building, and biblical formation under pressure.

Screen-free. Outdoor. Hands-on. Purpose-driven.

Only 32 seats available.

What We’ll Train:

Throughout the week, campers will engage in:

• Viking chair builds…

• DIY fire starter kits + primitive fire-starting methods…

• Navigation training (compass reading & pace count)…

• Shelter construction using natural materials…

• Primitive weaponry & campfire cooking…

• Environmental camouflage techniques…

• Survival Manhunt field scenario…

• Field suturing basics…

• Introductory self-defense & foundational jiu-jitsu defense…

All activities are carefully led and supervised, creating a controlled environment that includes authentic risk, meaningful consequence, and a healthy dose of danger — the kind that builds real confidence.

The 2026 Theme: Spiritual Survival

Using Matthew 4 as our framework, we will study the temptation of Jesus and what it means to stand firm under pressure.

Each day addresses a different battle:

• Spiritual vulnerability

• Appetite

• Pride

• Power

• Christ as our perfect substitute

We are not just teaching boys how to survive the outdoors.

We are forming young men who can withstand pressure without compromising character.

Small group.
High expectation.
Lasting impact.

When the 32 spots are filled, registration closes.
