Right away! There are a total of 100+ #LifeSkillsNow Season Three workshops and purchasers can access them immediately, and 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 two teens and an almost-teen, I hear you. They're a tough group. That's why I invited Crystal Paine to teach a Parenting Track workshop just for parents of teens about how to connect with them!

I also know that they desperately need practical life skills, which is why Season Three includes a HUGE focus on teen needs: auto maintenance, compound interest, taking control of one's own health, avoiding getting tricked by social media, even organizing personal info beyond memorizing your SSN. 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 40 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, garden, communication, and cleaning.

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 over 100 workshops in Season Three and no repeats from previous seasons.

You'll see 13 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 snack combos that pack a nutritional punch, they could be finished with watching and implementing the mission in under half an hour, but they might continue to test out different combos all summer long.

Learning bike maintenance 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 shining up other kids' bikes (with a granola bar upsell)!

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.

No, our terms and conditions require you to use your #LifeSkillsNow Season Three 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! Many of our camp leaders have provided free access to their online courses, memberships, and apps, plus high-value coupons (lots of 50% off) just for Futures All-Access Package purchasers. Look forward to discounts on workouts, meat sticks, succulent pots and more! The total value of all the bonuses (not including the deep discount coupons) is $400 over and above the value you get in the life skills workshops.
Here are just the free bonuses included with your purchase:

3 Months of the Sidekick to Hero App

Three Free Tiny Chefs Virtual Anytime Classes

Beginner’s Guide to Herb Gardening

Setting Loving Limits Course

30 Days to a More Abundant Brain

One free month in the Catholic Money Academy

Introduction to First Aid for Families

Direct Access to Dr. Gator from Dr. Joel Warsh

Plus Loads of High Value Coupons (many of them 50% off) to use on Other Camp Leader's Products

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 Three 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, no.

You have time to decide what you love! Try out the workshops, watch your kids implement a few missions, see what you think, and if you don’t love it let us know within 30 days of purchase and we’ll give you a full refund. You have unlimited access to all the content, so even if you use every piece and still ask for a refund, I’d still give it to you because I believe in this collection of workshops so much. That’s my risk, but I trust you probably won’t do that – it’s just important to me that you understand how much care we’ve put into this experience.
