Ranger Training Kids

What is included in a subscription?

A subscription includes 13 packets mailed out over 12 months - 2 in your first month (a welcome packet and the first mission packet), then 1 new packet each month.

What is the recommended age for this?

We recommend this program for ages 8-12, but there is a lot of room for variety depending on how you want to use it. We have several children in that age range doing the program themselves, but they also like to bring along younger siblings (5 and 6) who get to do certain parts of it with them as they can.

Is this a military training program?

Although it draws heavily from a lot of the training and methodologies employed by military units like the Army Ranger Regiment, this is not a military program. All of the missions are geared towards broadly usable and beneficial skills and experiences, like navigation, climbing, physical exercise, planning, bushcraft skills, camping, and communication. All of which factor heavily into military operations as well!

Who is the ideal candidate for this program?

The answer to this question would depend a lot on your particular goals. One the one hand this would be right up the alley for an active kid who loves playing outside and exploring, wants to try new things and overcome challenges - it is a natural fit for the natural "go-getter" child.
