Kids learn fire, first aid, knots, shelter and more from our exhibitors on Friday and Saturday, then put it all to the test with kids their own age on Sunday.
Every Warrior Kid gets a lanyard and punch card at check-in. The punch card is their passport around the Gathering: the more Skill Stops they visit, the more bonus points they carry into Sunday.
Look for booths flying a blaze-orange Warrior Kid flag. Each one teaches a quick skill, and some teach 30-minute kids' classes.
Learn the skill, get a punch. Every punch is worth bonus points on Sunday, and it's a great excuse to meet the makers.
Kids rotate through timed skill stations with their age group, scored on technique, safety and attitude. Top score in each group wins.
Each stop is an exhibitor booth. Some skills have more than one stop, so kids can learn from different teachers.
More Skill Stops may be added before the Gathering. Each one is flagged in Waypoint: booths on the Exhibitor Map, and the SimpleShot Range on the main event map.
All Warrior Kids gather at the main stage to kick things off.
Kids rotate through timed skill stations with their age group. Each station is scored on technique, safety and attitude, and punch-card points are added to the total.
We announce the top score in each age group. Every kid who finishes gets a certificate.
Times are the current plan and may shift a little. The final schedule will be in Waypoint before the Gathering.
