    The Problem

    Kids today are capable of so much more than their screens suggest.

    In a single generation, the skills that defined childhood — building fires, fishing, making things with your hands, growing food, finding your way in the wild — have quietly disappeared. Not because kids don't want them. Because nobody's teaching them anymore. Basecamp Academy is changing that.
