How it works
California Survival School focuses on offering hands-on experiences that help people learn practical outdoor skills. The company specializes in teaching survival techniques, such as building shelters, finding and purifying water, and starting fires without matches or lighters.

These activities are designed to enhance problem-solving skills and promote a deeper understanding of the environment.
The school provides a setting where groups can work together to tackle challenges in the wilderness. Through these shared experiences, participants have the opportunity to improve communication and build trust with one another.

Our Review
Updated
Our first impression of California Survival School's team building activities is that they offer a unique and engaging way for teams to develop essential skills while enjoying the great outdoors. The hands-on experiences, such as building shelters and purifying water, provide an excellent opportunity for teams to enhance their problem-solving abilities and foster a deeper understanding of the environment. This setting is particularly beneficial for teams that thrive on collaboration and enjoy physical challenges, making it a good fit for creative or adventurous groups looking to break away from traditional office settings.
However, one thing to keep in mind is that these activities might not be the best fit for all team types. For example, analytical teams or those accustomed to more structured environments may find the open-ended nature of survival tasks less appealing. Additionally, larger groups might face logistical challenges in ensuring everyone has a meaningful role during the activities. Despite these considerations, California Survival School offers an enriching experience that can significantly boost communication and trust within small or newly-formed teams eager to explore new dynamics in an outdoor environment.
