Conveniently located in Wimberley, Texas, is Primitive Instincts Youth Nature Program. We are an immersive outdoor nature program for youth, teens, families, and adults. While following our passions of the outdoors, we create magical experiences in many ways surrounded by the beautiful Hill Country scenery.

Primitive Instincts YNP is incredibly unique, caring of our community, is inspired by children's passions, and fundamentally enriching. By combining ancestral knowledge of primitive, survival, and outdoor skills, along with modern resources, philosophies, and environmental sciences, we provide an exciting curriculum that we hope will allow for your child's passions to grow and most importantly, for the whole family to gain a strong relationship with nature.
