“The large variety of skills and classes offered are MORE than worth the phenomenal price of camp! I have 11 children, 3 grown and 8 still at home, and the cost of sending just ONE of them to a week long camp is still more than the cost of #LifeSkillsNow.”

– Jessica Perez

What’s Different About Free Camp and the Paid Package?

Buying the package to keep gives you flexibility without the time limits of free camp, but also:

  • 12 additional bonus videos not included at all for free campers!
  • Downloadable videos – bring them with you when you travel!
  • Workbook – one download for handouts and answer keys instead of 100.
  • Child accounts – each of your kids can track their own progress without arguing with siblings about whether to “mark finished” a workshop that one took but not another.
  • Transcripts – for the workshops that aren’t visual (usually teen and parent topics), we provide transcripts for you who would rather learn by skimming than watching/listening.
  • Private podcast feed – get the workshops that are transcribed right in your favorite podcast player for our auditory learners and busy folks on the go!

FAQs

Got Questions? Here are Your Answers:

Right away! Currently #LifeSkillsNow Season Four is a work in progress. You'll get immediate access to dozens of workshops, and as soon as more are fully ready and through our Quality Control team, they'll be accessible in your dashboard. Remember your access will never expire.

We don't really want our tiniest children on screens, BUT we have a track for parents of preschoolers (age 2-5) to give you practical ideas for them with plenty of hands-on activities. We also have plenty of workshops for kids ages 5+ including food (bonding time with a parent!), gardening, cleaning, and emotional skills.

As a mom of three teens, I hear you. They're a tough group. That's why I asked Joey Mascio to teach a super engaging, life-changing workshop for YOU as a parent about how to become the person your teen turns to instead of fights against. He references Yoda and the Hunger Games. Just sayin'.

I also know that they desperately need practical life skills, which is why Season Four is PACKED with skills teens need: creating a budget and understanding the value of saving/investing, taking control of one's own health, skincare, driver safety, starting a business even as a minor, texting etiquette, and even a 3-part series on using AI wisely.

It's a TON of good stuff, and we hear from many families of teens year after year sharing feedback like this: "My kids loved this! They usually smell self-help stuff and run, but they found this super engaging and were asking to watch the videos!"

All of our workshops are labeled with an age group “and up” so no one feels like they’re too old to learn…including some of us adults who may have missed some life skills in our days!

At least 45 workshops are great for that age group, which is plenty to keep your kids busy! The focus for our elementary kids is particularly on the kitchen, cleaning, communication, and being healthy.

But great news! The workshops geared more for older kids will be perfect for your kids someday too - when you buy the package, put a note in your calendar for 3-5 years down the road and pull #LifeSkillsNow back out for continuing education. That's the beauty of owning the package!

Each camp leader has their own unique style, but everyone speaks directly to the kids/teens in a pre-recorded, edited video (except for the parent workshops), introduces their life skill, teaches practically how to do it, and delivers a "mission" at the end.

The mission is a concrete action step that can be accomplished in 5-15 minutes within the next 1-2 days. Let’s give those kids some knowledge and then get them off the screen and implementing in the real world!

Access to workshops will be inside a password-protected membership area so there aren’t any ads, interaction with people you don’t know, or distracting sidebar “play next” features.

The workshop pages simply include the video, a printable handout or checklist to follow along, a mission, and the workshop teachers’s bio and “learn more” links. For select workshops that are more verbal and less visual (mostly teen and grown-up workshops), transcripts are provided (with your paid purchase only).

Almost everything, except our purpose! We have 112 workshops in Season Four and no repeats from previous seasons. Remember that with purchase, you get access to TWELVE workshops not found in the free version!

You'll see 17 returning camp leaders, all previous favorites with 100% new material, plus plenty of Mrs. Kimball and her kids with new recipes and other helpful life skills.

What remains the same is our commitment to bringing vital life skills to kids, teens, and grown-ups via a short time on a screen and then an actionable mission step to take them out into the real world.

YES! Large families, neighborhood gatherings, daycare/summer care centers have all enjoyed #LifeSkillsNow workshops.

This is really a moving target, because it depends on your child’s age and how they tackle their missions. All the videos are between 5-30 minutes, longer for older kids.

If your child takes the workshop on the most important nutrient (spoiler: it's WATER!), they could be finished with watching and implementing the mission in under half an hour, but they might continue to test out different combos of drinks all summer long.

Learning sewing skills is a 3-part series that is pretty involved and could immerse interested kiddos for days, and perhaps your kids will pair that with our Entrepreneurship track and start a business selling custom placemats to neighbors and friends!

In other words...this resource has no limits, just like your children's potential.

Yes! When you purchase, downloading the videos is such a great option for travel (more productive than a movie on a long drive) or if you have poor Internet or simply don’t want your kids online. With the paid Futures All-Access Package, you can also download all the handouts as one PDF workbook + answer keys, which will save a ton of time hopping into one lesson after another.

When you purchase, there’s no expiration PLUS you can download literally everything to keep on your device no matter what.

Buying the package to keep gives you flexibility without the time limits of free camp, but also:

  • 12 additional bonus videos not included at all for free campers!
  • Downloadable videos - bring them with you when you travel!
  • Workbook - one download for handouts and answer keys instead of 100.
  • Child accounts - each of your kids can track their own progress without arguing with siblings about whether to "mark finished" a workshop that one took but not another.
  • Transcripts - for the workshops that aren't visual (usually teen and parent topics), we provide transcripts for you who would rather learn by skimming than watching/listening.
  • Private podcast feed - get the workshops that are transcribed right in your favorite podcast player for our auditory learners and busy folks on the go!
  • Bonuses from camp leaders including courses, guides, app access, and more! PLUS a ton of huge coupons for products.

No, our terms and conditions require you to use your #LifeSkillsNow login solely for personal use, BUT you can definitely share your login with all your children for their own devices, AND you’re welcome to invite friends over to take the workshops with you at your house. You also have the option of creating child accounts for children in your home with your paid account.

Yes! You can choose to pay in 3 installments if you'd like (but please don't stretch your budget more than you should - listen to camp leader Bob Lotich's and the "Never 100" Rule, m'kay?). This is NOT a subscription that you can cancel partway through but a payment plan.

When you purchase a Season of #LifeSkillsNow, you'll keep access to those workshops with no expiration, never any other fees. So if you grab Season Four right now, you'll own it forever.

Each season contains completely different workshops from (mostly) different workshop teachers, so purchasing one doesn't allow access to what we create in the future or past, no.

Refunds will be given for any reason until June 30, 2025. This gives you plenty of time to try out workshops and make sure this is a good fit for your kids, and we stand behind our product with such pride that we won’t prevent you from using all the content and asking for a refund. Honesty is a life skill, but so is never compromising on quality and treating everyone well.
