Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival
Private
Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival is a traveling wilderness-survival school based in Pepperell that teaches children, teens and adults across Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Colorado. Its tiered Survival 1-5 courses build from basic warmth, water and food skills through shelter building, fire making, wood carving, foraging and animal tracking, and it also runs the OWL Challenge and SOS Challenge programs. Classes are offered as standalone sessions at varying locations rather than from a single campus.

★★★★★Kayla CalabroThe kids survival 101 class was so fun for my survival-obsessed kiddo. He had tons of fun and learned a lot. Tim is hilarious and had some great one liners (e.g., if a tree falls on you, you're a gluten free pancake 😂). As an educator, I found his teaching style really impressive. He does a great job pre-explaining expectations and instilling safety first. 10/10 would recommend.
★★★★★Ned BlissWe had a terrific time with Tim, and really appreciated both his knowledge and teaching style. It was hands-on, well paced and truly fascinating. Great for anyone, kids included, who are interested in knowing more about the plant life all around us.
★★★★★Jessica WelchTim at Owl Eyes Wilderness is truly exceptional. My son recently took one of his homeschool classes, and I honestly couldn’t have been more impressed. Tim is an incredibly knowledgeable instructor who clearly has a deep understanding of wilderness skills, but what really stood out was how he works with kids. He has the perfect balance of challenging them and gently pushing their limits, while still being encouraging, supportive, and respectful of where each child is at. That combination is not easy to find. My son absolutely loved the class, he came home excited, confident, and proud of what he learned. He was immediately asking to sign up for more, which says everything. It’s clear that Tim creates an environment where kids feel capable, engaged, and inspired. We are so grateful to have found Owl Eyes Wilderness and will definitely be signing up again. Highly, highly recommend.
★★★★★Kyle HoweTim’s classes are always a good time. Opportunities for children and adults to learn in a positive atmosphere. They are some of my son’s favorite events. As always, looking forward to the next class.
★★★★★Leanne LpWe loved this class and hope to attend some more classes with owl eyes in the future! Tim is a great teacher, continuously dropping knowledge nuggets while keeping it fun and engaging! Being outside and hands on made the learning feel natural and intuitive rather than feeling like information was just being thrown at us. I highly recommend for people of all ages and abilities! The importance of this knowledge is so underrated. Thanks, Tim, for teaching us your ways!
