At AAROE, we believe that the land is our greatest teacher. Rooted in Indigenous and Métis traditions, our experiences go far beyond standard survival training—they are pathways to a deeper connection with yourself, others, and the natural world. Using the foundation of the Medicine Wheel, we teach survival in a way no other course does, combining physical skills with emotional, mental, and spiritual awareness. Every fire built, track followed, and shelter raised is part of a larger journey toward balance, resilience, and self-discovery.
Our teachings come from generations who lived in harmony with the earth—who understood that true survival is more than knowing how to build a fire or find water. By integrating the Medicine Wheel into every lesson and experience, we help adventurers of all backgrounds cultivate a holistic understanding of survival that includes strength, mindfulness, emotional resilience, and spiritual awareness.
Whether you join us for a day of learning, a weekend immersion, or a full journey through the seasons, you’ll leave with more than practical skills—you’ll carry wisdom, confidence, and a deeper sense of connection to the land and yourself.
Walk the old trails, learn from the elements, and reconnect with the teachings written in wind, fire, and stone. The land is calling—let’s answer it together.
