The 7-Day Program
THE EXPERIENCE
This isn't a weekend retreat. It's a full week of survival training, zombie combat, night missions, and one final escape. Every day builds on the last. Every night raises the stakes.
Week Breakdown
FOUR PHASES. SEVEN DAYS.
You arrive at base camp, receive your gear kit, meet your squad, and get your first look at the 40-acre wilderness you'll be navigating all week. Then the real work begins.
- —Check-in and gear distribution
- —Squad assignments and team introductions
- —Camp orientation and rules of engagement
- —First threat assessment drill — the outbreak has already begun
What You'll Learn
REAL SKILLS. REAL CONDITIONS.
Every survival technique taught at Outbreak is drawn from real wilderness and tactical training. You leave with skills that work when everything else fails.
Fire-Starting
Friction methods, flint and steel, emergency fire in wet conditions. You'll start fires without matches before Day 2 ends.
Shelter Building
Natural debris shelters, lean-tos, and emergency bivouacs using only what the Mississippi wilderness provides.
Foraging
Identify edible plants, avoid toxic lookalikes, and locate water sources in the field. Hunger is a threat too.
Navigation
Map and compass fundamentals, terrain association, and dead reckoning across 40 acres of dense woodland.
Wilderness First Aid
Wound treatment, splinting, improvised stretchers, and managing medical emergencies when help is hours away.

About the Zombie Actors
Our zombie actors are trained performers who follow strict engagement protocols. They will not physically contact participants — all interaction is through paintball. Actors wear full protective gear and are briefed on safety boundaries before every session. The experience is intense by design, but every safeguard is in place.
