There are restaurants and grocery stores nearby to accommodate needs. Accommodations There is an additional charge to bring your own tent and camp on the Academy Field Sessions. We do not provide bedding, mats, or any manner of camping equipment. Although it can be moderate to fairly warm during the day, temperatures tend to drop considerably at night in the high desert/mountains as low as the mid-thirties to freezing depending on time of year. Please bring extra warm stuff for nighttime sleeping. Please be self-sufficient, realistic, and plan properly. Camping must be arranged in advanced. If this is not what you had in mind, then please secure off site accommodations.

Q: When can I do an Off Academy Field Session?

We offer opportunities several times a year. Keep an eye out for an e-mail or on our website for the most up to date information. Reference our Recognition section for detailed information concerning belt requirements and progression program.

Q: What if I do not like the Pangea Academy once I arrive?

You are encouraged to stick it out and make the best of it. All student fees are non-refundable.

Q: Will I be able to build my own Sustainable Off-Grid Building once I finish the Academy Field Session?

The short answer is no you will not be able to build your own sustainable, off-grid structure once you finish your first Academy Field Session. However, much depends on your skill level when arriving at the Academy. There are many components that go into the construction of a sustainable, off-grid structure including water, electricity, heating & cooling, food, permits, etc. You will learn the basics of all of these in our online courses and various types of field sessions, but you will likely need to go through at least three full builds before you are ready to run and build your own project. Reference our Recognition section for detailed information concerning belt requirements and progression milestones. Additionally, if you want to build right away, then you can always hire professionals for many aspects of the construction process of your own structure.

We do allow voice recordings and pictures of the events, but video recording is prohibited.
