Pricing, Billing & How It Works

We keep things simple and transparent. This page explains plan price, billing frequency, renewal terms, what’s in a typical box, and how the program works start to finish.

Quick Summary

Price: $99 per billing period (plus tax & shipping)

Billing: Charged today, then every 30 days until canceled

Next charge: Shown at checkout and in your email receipt

Renewal: Auto-renews; cancel before your renewal date to avoid the next charge

Manage: Use your customer portal link (in order/renewal emails) or email support

Ships: First box ships in 5–7 business days (see Shipping & Delivery)

By clicking Subscribe/Pay, you authorize recurring charges to your saved payment method every 30 days at the then-current rate until you cancel. You can cancel online at any time (see Managing Your Subscription).

How It Works (Step-by-Step)
1) Choose your plan & checkout

See your exact next-charge date at checkout.

You’ll receive an order confirmation with your customer portal link.

2) We prepare your first box

Typical processing time: 5–7 business days (Mon–Fri).

You’ll get a tracking email when your label is created.

3) Your Pathfinder mission arrives

Inside: printed curriculum, mission steps, and gear.

Review safety notes before starting.

4) Run the mission (parent-led)

Read the mission card together.

Do the core challenge; pick an Elite Track if you want more.

Celebrate with the included patch/recognition.

5) Ongoing billing & shipments

Plan renews every 30 days; each renewal triggers the next box.

You can pause/skip (when available), update address, or cancel in your portal.

Plan & Price

Monthly plan: $99 per billing period, billed at checkout and then every 30 days.

What’s included: One Pathfinder box per billing period (see What’s in a Typical Box).

Not included: Sales tax (where applicable) and shipping (calculated at checkout).

Price changes: We may change the price with advance notice by email and/or site posting. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle. If you don’t agree, cancel before the effective date.

Billing Timeline & Renewal Terms

First charge: Collected at checkout.

Recurring charges: Automatically processed every 30 days after your first purchase.

Next-charge timing: Displayed near the pay button at checkout and in your receipt.

Renewal: Continues until you cancel.

Cancellation cutoff: Cancel before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. If you cancel after a renewal processes, that month’s box will still ship and the charge stands; your cancellation applies to the next cycle.

Example: Join on October 5 → next charge around November 4/5 (30 days later). The exact date appears at checkout and in your receipt.

Founding Family (On-Ramp Option)

If you join as a Founding Family, different billing/fulfillment applies:

$99 today (one-time Founding Family fee).

No monthly charges yet. First shipment may take up to 3 months; early shipments may be sporadic (e.g., January, March, May).

When the monthly plan becomes available, we will invite you to opt in to the standard rate (currently $99/month). We will email your proposed start date and price.

Monthly billing will begin only if you explicitly opt in. If you do not opt in, no monthly charges will occur.

What’s in a Typical Box

Designed for parent-led outdoor-skills training for ages 8–14.

Typical (non-hazardous) contents may include:
compass, cordage, notebook, patches, printed curriculum/materials.

Parent-gated tools (some months):
Certain boxes may include a pocket knife or flint & steel. These are for educational use under adult supervision only. We do not include fuels or accelerants; fire kits may include a ferro rod/steel striker only. Shipments of tool-containing boxes may be limited by location (see Shipping & Delivery).

Taxes, Shipping & Delivery

Sales tax is applied where required by law.

First orders typically ship within 5–7 business days; renewals ship on a cadence of about every 30 days after your initial order date.

Discounts, Promotions & Gift Codes

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, promo codes apply to the first billing cycle only.

After a promo period ends, your plan auto-renews at the then-current standard rate until canceled.

Gift codes and store credit (when offered) are applied at checkout and cannot be redeemed for cash.

Failed Payments & Account Holds

If a renewal payment fails, we’ll retry your card and email you to update it.

If payment can’t be collected after multiple attempts, we may pause your subscription and hold shipment until the payment method is updated.

Cancel anytime before your renewal date.

Unopened returns accepted within 14 days of delivery (you cover return shipping).

Parent-Gated Tools Policy (Important)

By purchasing, you agree that:

The purchaser is 18+ and the legal parent/guardian of the child participant.

Tools will be used under direct adult supervision and for educational purposes only.

You are responsible for complying with local laws regarding possession and use.

We may restrict tool shipments to certain addresses/regions; if so, we’ll contact you with options.
