Apply for Homestead Apprentice 2024

Homestead Apprentice is a unique opportunity to receive world-class training, mentoring, and experience around the multifaceted challenges of homesteading. If you are fragile, weak, or easily offended, this is not for you. It will be difficult. Your body and ego will be tired and sore. It might be the hardest thing you’ve ever done. It just might change your life.

The program consists of two parts:

The Gauntlet

May 3-6, 2024
Special Operations Equipment – Camden, TN

Applicants will be selected for a 3 day challenge to compete for an opportunity to be invited to participate in The Main Event, completing a series of tasks and challenges to show The Board what you are made of.

The Main Event

June 10-30, 2024
Special Operations Equipment – Camden, TN

A sub-set of contestants chosen from The Gauntlet will receive thorough training, mentorship, and experience in homesteading over the course of several weeks. Contestants will receive world-class mentoring and training from industry leaders and experts, while also competing in challenges to demonstrate their capabilities.
