Disclaimer: Participation in courses offered by Arcturus Primitive Skills Institute, LLC (APSI) involves outdoor activities that carry inherent risks. While APSI takes every precaution to ensure the safety of participants, it is essential to understand that survival skills training can be physically demanding and may expose participants to potentially hazardous conditions. Participants are responsible for their personal safety and must follow all instructions provided by APSI instructors. APSI is not liable for any injuries, accidents, or damages that may occur during the courses. When you come out here, make sure you have medical insurance before signing up.

Liability Waiver: All participants are required to sign a liability waiver before attending any APSI course. By signing the waiver, participants acknowledge and accept the risks associated with survival skills training and agree to release APSI, its instructors, and staff from any and all liability for injuries, accidents, or damages that may occur during the course. The waiver also includes a consent for emergency medical treatment in the event of an injury or illness.

Cancellation Policy: While we do not offer refunds, you can reschedule your class for a later date or even the following year at no additional cost if you need to cancel.

Hazardous Weather: On rare occasions, we may have to cancel a class or weekend course due to dangerous weather. While we don’t worry about passing rainstorms, we do cancel if heavy thunderstorms, high winds, possible tornadoes, or flash flooding are in the forecast. It’s never fun—but it’s absolutely necessary to keep our students safe. If a cancellation occurs, we’ll notify you by text or email in advance. Your spot will remain reserved at no additional charge and will take priority over other students’ spots in the future. You will get your class!

Important Note: Participants must be at least 15 years old. Any participant under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign the liability waiver, and the participant must also sign it. If both signatures are not provided, the participant will not be permitted to attend the course. We prioritize your safety and well-being while delivering high‑quality survival skills training. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us before your course date.
