Vacation Like Never Before… Take a SurviVacation at Willow Haven Outdoor in Anderson, Indiana!
Are you interested in taking some real survival training but not so interested in stripping down to a leather thong and heading into the woods with just a knife for 3 days? My name is Creek Stewart and I own Willow Haven Outdoor. I started my survival training clinics over 12 years ago on my parent’s land in Southern Indiana. I now own a 10,000 sq. ft. Survival Lodge and 21 acres in Central Indiana dedicated to Survival Training Clinics. Over the past 15 years, I’ve learned a thing or two about how my students learn…
[pullquote]I can’t believe that this short weekend made this BIG of an impact in my life. I learned not just survival, but life skills while attending Creek’s SurviVacation. I now not only have the head knowledge, but also the hands-on training to apply it. Thanks Creek! -J.Tilley, Michigan[/pullquote]People learn MORE when they are COMFORTABLE. Whether it’s school work or survival training, you are less likely to soak up important information if you are cold, tired, hungry and thirsty.
Regardless of what some might say – YOU CAN LEARN CRITICAL SURVIVAL SKILLS WITHOUT SUFFERING. Is it time for you and/or your family to take a SurviVacation? Get ready for a weekend get-a-way unlike you’ve ever experienced.
So what is a SurviVacation? Well, in short, it is a 3-Day Survival Vacation. It’s a Weekend Get-A-Way at the Willow Haven Survival Training Facility PACKED with survival instruction – and some survival fun too. Many attendees prefer to camp but we also have private bunk rooms available on a 1st come 1st serve basis and a community bunk room. No ‘Going In The Woods’ at Willow Haven – our lodge has indoor restrooms and showers. Our Lodge Great Room has one of the largest Bedford Limestone Fireplaces in the Midwest.
I have designed the SurviVacation Weekend to be a 3-Day Survival Experience. I will cover the 5 main aspects of survival: Shelter, Fire, Water, Food and Signaling. We will discuss survival priorities and work our way through specific skills related to securing these 5 survival needs. I will cover several primitive and modern techniques related to each skill. This will be a hands-on learning clinic – not a classroom lecture. The ONLY way to learn survival skills is to practice them. I invest 100’s of hours into the preparation of my courses to provide you with an amazing survival learning experience.
So what exactly can you expect from your SurviVacation?

SurviVacation FAQs:
Do I need to have any Survival Experience to attend a SurviVacation Clinic? No, you do not. Whether you are new to the concept of survival training or have years of experience – everyone will learn survival skills. There are also no special physical requirements. Do I need to bring my own food for the meals not provided? You can either bring your own meals or you can go pick something up in town. While you will feel completely secluded at our retreat, we are conveniently located only 5 miles from many restaurants and convenience stores in Anderson, IN. You are more than welcome to bring camp meals and a cooler to prepare your own meals at your camp-site. You can also use our kitchen as well which has a range, fridge w/ freezer and microwave. We also have prepackaged snacks & drinks available at a nominal fee. Can kids come? Yes, this is a family friendly clinic. We do ask that children be at least 10 years of age, however. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.

September 1, 2020 at 8:12 amI would like to take my 13 year old daughter on a primitive skills camping Adventure. Goals are to learn basic survival and boost her confidence. Be nice to come this October 2020 maybe with a large group of female survivalist. I feel this might help her see that being a female does not mean weakness in fact quite often the opposite.
