Get Ready for the PNW Survival Games 2025!

Join us from August 15th-17th for a thrilling 3-day survival adventure packed with bushcraft, outdoor skills, camping, networking, and heart-pounding competition! This year, we’re taking things to the next level with more participants, new challenges, and a refined format that will immerse you in the ultimate survival experience.

Event Details:

• When: August 15th-17th, 2025
  Mandatory Check-In & Safety Training: August 15th from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. PST.
  Main Event Dates: August 16th-17th

• Where: Molalla Ripple Campground
  Nestled in the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, our location will challenge your skills with rugged terrains, dense forests, and beautiful wilderness.

What’s New in 2025?

• Mandatory Safety Training: To ensure the safety and preparedness of all participants, the event kicks off with a mandatory check-in and safety training session on August 15th, from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. PST.

• Gear Showcase by Sponsors: Sponsors will be exhibiting their top-of-the-line outdoor gear during check-in, offering participants a chance to explore and interact with innovative survival tools and products.

• Streamlined Challenges: We’ve refined the competition, reducing the number of challenges from 7 to 6 for a more intense and focused experience.

• Bigger Community: This year, we’re welcoming 50 participants, up from 40, ensuring even more opportunities to connect and compete.

• Spectator Passes Available: Bring your friends and family! Spectator passes are available for $100 per person, which includes camping and meals. A $50 per person day pass is also available and does not include meals or camping.

How It Works:

Participants register online, arrive at the designated location with a sleeping bag and tent, and set up camp. After mandatory check-in and safety training on August 15th, you'll receive your survival backpack (packed with all the gear you'll need for the challenges, and yes—you get to keep it!).

Before each of the 6 challenges, you’ll attend a 30-minute survival workshop led by expert instructors, who will teach you essential skills. You’ll then have 60 minutes to complete the challenge, which will test your ability to adapt, problem-solve, and apply what you’ve learned under real-world pressure.

Challenges mimic true survival scenarios:
Picture yourself racing against the clock to build a shelter, start a fire, or navigate through tough terrain—all while the sun sets and survival instincts kick in. The competitive format intensifies the experience, making it both fun and rewarding.

Participants will compete in 2-person teams, with solo participants paired up by staff a week before the event to allow time to connect and strategize.
