Jack Mountain Bushcraft runs field-based, college-level semester and yearlong immersion programs in bushcraft and wilderness guide training, courses on tradtional north woods crafts, nature programs for kids and classes on sustainable living and wilderness survival.

Summed up in a single word, our educational philosophy is this: can.
