Self Reliance Summer Camp Is The Perfect Way To Help Your Child Get Outside, Learn New Skills And Have Endless Fun

From: Martin Ferreira
San Diego, CA

Dear Mom or Dad,

My name is Martin Ferreira and I’m here today because I want to help provide your child the summer of a lifetime and invite you to join us at this years Self Reliance Summer Camp. 

Self Reliance Kids Summer camp is designed to help empower your child with truly valuable skills that range in nature from gardening, canning, cooking, land navigation, fishing, first aid a ton more. 

 

But before you sign your kids up for this years summer camp, I’m going to tell you the back story about how it was created, what type of kids the camp is suited for and all the details other parents like you need to know. 

The camps activities, curriculum and skills taught are not something I just made up or simply read in a book.

Myself along with my fellow Self Reliance team members have spent the majority of our lives living out the values and skills we teach. 

I Really Wanted To Be The Best Father Possible To My Daughters

This is how Self Reliance Camp was created over 16 years ago.

I was a father to two young daughters while tirelessly working hard building my business.

I really wanted to be the best father possible to my daughters and was working hard for our financial future.

I Was Finding It Difficult To Spend Time Building My Business And Being The Best Father Possible 

The thing is I was finding it difficult to spend time building a successful business and being the best father possible to my two girls. 

To make things worse, I felt terrible because one day my daughter stopped me in my tracks and told me she needed to spend more time with me .

Even worse, up until this point I never knew how my daughter truly felt about how much time I spent away from home.

I felt like I needed to make changes fast and I determined I needed to truly revaluate my life and priorities .

I also learned that working hard outside the home means nothing to my young children , and quality time with family truthfully matters most. 

” The Problem Was That My Business Needed Me To Continue Producing And Growing It As Rapidly As Possible. “

The problem was that my business and partner needed me to continue producing and growing the business as rapidly as possible.

However if I didn’t begin finding more time to genuinely connect more with my daughters my relationship with them was going to permanently change.

As I reflected, it was becoming crystal clear to me how to become the best father and parent I could be moving forward.  

The answer was quality time with my two daughters for as long as possible. They were growing up fast and I knew my time with them was truly limited. 

” I Started Thinking Of All The Ways My Girls Would Love To Spend Time With Me

As a result I started thinking of all the ways my girls would love to spend time with me.

I also knew that I possessed endless knowledge around self reliance, fun outdoor skills like bushcraft and a ton more. I genuinely desired to pass this knowledge along to my daughters. 

Soon after I started spending time teaching my girls how to fish,  how to how to catch food, how to cook and more.

As a life long martial arts teacher I also began teaching my daughters how to effectively defend themselves and  how to build stronger bodies.  

From taking care of animals like livestock to making homemade soap, the skills passed along were truly endless.

“Suddenly, I Was Starting To Be Asked By Parents In My Community How Were My Daughters So Successful In All Their Endeavors?

parent and child

Suddenly, I was starting to be asked by parents in my community how my daughters were so successful in all their endeavors?

That’s when I realized that the secret to both spending more time with my daughters and helping empower other families with this knowledge was to begin building a self reliance based community. 

  “My Plan Was To Start Creating Fun Skill Based Lessons To Help Teach Young Children Valuable Skill Sets.

My plan was to start creating fun skill based lessons and activities to help teach young children valuable skill sets. 

So I started putting all my knowledge together in teachable formats.

We then started hosting our first camps in 2008. But then there was still a few problems.

I also realized a team is better than an individual so I partnered with other trusted and knowledgable individuals to help teach additional subjects like first aid and our 3D printing workshops. 

We ended up having so much knowledge that I eventually needed to find a way to create a frame work for how to teach all of the self reliance lessons and skill over an extended period of time.

We Began Teaching Other Kids How To Become More Confident, Self Reliant And Have A Ton Of Fun Over 3 Weeks Of Kids Summer Camp

We realized that if we could create something that would make it possible to teach other kids how to become more confident, self reliant and have a ton of fun over 3 weeks of summer, we’d be onto something really big.

We chose to call it “Self Reliance Camp ”.

After 8 years of hosting Self Reliance Kids Camp, we’ve perfected the experience and as a result over 350 kids just like yours have attended our camp since 2008.

Welcome To Self Reliance Summer Camp 2024!

After creating Self Reliance Camp , I was not only able to pass on my knowledge to not only my 2 daughters but also empower other children to be more confident and self reliant.

 

In the end, all of this means I was able to create lasting memories teaching the lessons I’ve taught to my daughters and pass it along to other kids and families as well.
