Make it a Family Adventure!
Calling all families! Are you looking for a way to turn history and physical education into a high-stakes leadership lesson?
I'm Tom Coyle, founder of Adventures in Leadership. I'm teaming up with my West Point classmate and tracking expert, David Merrill, to launch a brand-new series of Parent-Child Junior Special Forces Missions. Join us for our first session Aug 8th from 9:30 am – 3:30 pm at Prince William Forest!
We aren't just teaching "camping." We are teaching the elite skills we used in the military and intelligence communities — tracking, situational awareness, and resiliency — set in the very woods where WWII spies once trained.
We hope to see you and your family on August 8th! Keep in mind we try to keep these cohorts relatively small to ensure elite instruction, spots will go fast.
What Your Kids (and You!) Will Master
The Art of the Track
See what others miss using Native American tracking techniques — the same skills used by elite military and intelligence professionals.
Action and Adventure
Rappelling, improvised zip lining (that you set up!), leader reaction drills, and orienteering with map and compass.
Wilderness Tradecraft
Camouflage, stalking, and primitive survival skills — set in the very woods where WWII spies once trained.
The West Point Way
Leadership and teamwork exercises designed to build "battle-tested" confidence in both parents and children.

History, Leadership, and Family Bonding
Starting in 2024, we have a new program of family events. Making use of historic battlefields, we provide a unique experience in which families will have the opportunity to experience history and learn key lessons on leadership, communication, and planning — while spending quality time together.
We will even have opportunities for kids to partake in experiential activities while the adults enjoy a wine tasting at Bull Run Winery or a tasting at the Spirits of Gettysburg Distillery. We even create custom programs at these battlefields.
