Summer School Prepper 2027 — Craiova

A nine-day residential program that brings the depth of our adult Academy to a younger group — built for teens who want real skills, not a checklist. Runs 7–15 July 2027 in Craiova. A second session runs 20–27 July in Bucharest — see that session if the dates or city fit better.

Book

No-show policy: booking a spot means someone else can't. If you don't show up without cancelling in advance, your payment isn't refunded. Cancel at least 15 days before the event for a full refund — that gives organizers time to find someone else for your spot. Cancellations closer to the event, or no-shows, aren't refunded.

Who it's for

Teens aged 16 and up who want a serious, hands-on introduction to preparedness — whether they're completely new to it or already curious and want structured depth. This is the under-18 counterpart to our adult Prepper Academy, not a shortened version of it.

Eligibility: minimum age 16. Participants under 18 need written parent or guardian consent to attend — a consent form is sent to every registrant after booking, before the program starts.

What to bring

  • Comfortable clothes for hands-on work each day, and closed shoes for outdoor activities
  • Personal toiletries and any regular medication — on-site accommodation and meals for the full nine days are provided
  • Nothing else for the program itself — all materials and kit components are included

Led by

Taught and supervised by prepping.club's own instructor team, on-site for the full nine days. A completion certificate from prepping.club is issued at the closing ceremony — not a third-party accreditation, just proof of the work done.

Sponsors

This session doesn't have a sponsor yet. If your company wants to help fund equipment or scholarship spots for a teen preparedness program, we'd like to hear from you.

Volunteers

We need extra hands running a nine-day residential program for teens — registration, meals, and supervision support alongside the instructor team. Prior experience with youth groups is a plus but not required; apply to volunteer.
