I Pledge to Lift Up the Young Generation!
I’m Katie Kimball, mom of 4, former teacher, and I’ve been connecting families around healthy living since 2009. My oldest is engaged and my youngest is 11, so I’ve lived the whole range of “my kid needs to know how to do this before they leave.”
I’m a mom on a mission—I don’t like hearing stories of unmotivated young adults waiting for success and money to be handed to them. That’s why I created #LifeSkillsNow five years ago, and over 115,000 families have said, “Yes, Katie, I’m with you! Our young people need real life skills!”
#LifeSkillsNow helps families raise independent future adults who will contribute powerfully to their communities!
My Promise to You
I bring together the best experts, curate the most engaging topics, and handle the noise so you don’t have to. No one can take the love of learning away from your kids. And they’ll always have roots in their family, because you learned together.
#LifeSkillsNow is the answer to prepare your kids for the future, whatever that future may bring.
Your parenting guide,
Katie (AKA “Mrs. Kimball”)

How Life Changes After #LifeSkillsNow
Imagine your daughter walking into the kitchen, pulling out ingredients, and making the family a real dinner. Not because you told her to, but because she watched a video with a chef talking right to young people and decided she could.
Imagine your son tying a tie before his first school dance, adjusting it in the mirror, and matching his shoes to his belt without having to ask you or Google. Because he got to spend serious time with Nate from Jos. A. Bank, he cares about how he looks (and you didn’t have to drive him to a suit shop).
Imagine your teens having an actual conversation about compound interest at the dinner table. You didn’t assign it as a homeschool topic, but rather a Wall Street Journal bestselling author made it make sense to them in 15 minutes.
Imagine your 6-year-old proudly vacuuming the living room. Not perfectly, but willingly, because 14-year-old John Kimball made it look fun on a video, and now it’s “his job” and he won’t let you touch his vacuum!
That’s #LifeSkillsNow. Watch a video. Try the skill. Surprise everyone (including yourself).
What does a workshop feel like?
1. Watch a Short Video
Each workshop is 5-30 minutes. Short on purpose, because your life is busy!
2. Optional: Print a Page to Follow Along
Recipes, checklists, reflection questions. Keeps hands engaged during screen time and gives kids something to reference later.
3. Do the Mission in the Real World
Every workshop ends with a concrete action step. Cook the meal. Clean the mirrors. Start the conversation. Hem the pants. This is where the learning sticks.
4. Be Amazed at the Confidence Your Kids Will Gain
“My daughter found camp so empowering! She asked me to measure her when she woke up the second morning. She felt like she was 10 feet tall!”
Nicole

I loved the variety of videos and missions! My boys chose some that were different from what I thought they would enjoy. This is a nice ‘relaxed’ way for them to continue to learn and hopefully find some interests that they didn’t know they had!
Having a third party who aligns with our parenting speak into our children’s lives is so important!
I felt safe letting the kids watch even if I had to take care of the toddler or run out to the garden. I rarely do that with anything online.
Kellie Hatman
This camp was the perfect way to get in some valuable lessons, useful in real life. My homeschoolers had so much fun and kept coming to me with ‘Wow! That is really helpful to know.’
I was skeptical at first that an online camp would be a good experience so we started with the free version last year. My kids wanted to do so many of the videos that it was a whirlwind week.
I didn’t hesitate this year in purchasing the All Access so we could have the leisure of the whole summer to explore the skills they wanted to learn.
Katie brings so many excellent resources together in one place and because the videos span the whole age range I know this is an excellent investment as these videos can be used year after year as my kids grow. The conversations it started, the confidence it is building and the time spent together learning is priceless.

Make Learning Fun and Meaningful – Act Now!
What Real Families Say
My son FINALLY understands how to clean and organize his room and actually does it! It hasn’t been this clean in a very long time!
Over the years, Life Skills Camp has helped my kids feel comfortable cooking, attempt more on their own, get more on board with eating healthy, clean their rooms more consistently, and practice manners and speaking skills. We’ve also saved a lot of money from the girls’ haircut tips in season 2!
This is our 4th year and each year it gets better and better! I have two teenage boys and to see them get excited about entrepreneurship or learning to unplug a drain, and then running to complete the missions, was pure joy in my heart as their mom. Due to the cooking videos, we decided as a family to let the boys pick one night each to make dinner. It has been LIFE CHANGING learning LIFE SKILLS with you all!
We had an emergency come up in June and had to miss the whole week of camp. So the paid package was huge for us! I learned so much during the finance videos, and my daughter appreciated that there were little mistakes, so she didn’t feel hesitant about trying it. She knew it was ok to make a mistake and learn from it.
THIS. IS. AMAZING! There’s no better way to spend summer than preparing your kids for the real world, and this is an INCREDIBLE resource! I love that I can hand over the teaching to someone else. Not only does it take the pressure off of me, but my kids tend to listen better when the information is coming from someone else. And there are so many skills included in these workshops that I had never even thought about teaching my kids!
My 10 year old has gotten excited to save more money (he was comparing prices at the grocery store and reminding me not to hit a drive through as we could invest that money instead) and both my kids are more into cleaning and organizing their things! Plus, having a ‘camp leader’ explain how to clean and organize your room or backpack is 1000x more fun and cool than hearing mom or dad explain that again.
My picky kids ate new foods this week all because they cooked it AND the lessons were talking to them. The overall ‘we are talking to you kids because you can SO do this!’ vibe has been fantastic.
My children love to learn life skills especially from people other than mom! I often have to nag my kids to clean their rooms and they are up in their rooms for hours with little work done. This year after watching several videos about cleaning, my daughter was motivated to clean her room! She was able to finish in a few hours instead of days!
Got Questions? Katie Has Answers.
Right away! There are a total of 107 #LifeSkillsNow Season Five workshops (95+ free camp workshops plus 12 exclusive bonuses) and purchasers can access them immediately (as they are loaded in before camp). Access will never expire.
We don’t really want our tiniest children on screens, BUT working with a parent can make #LifeSkillsNow accessible even to preschooler. We have plenty of workshops for kids ages 5+ including cooking (bonding time with a parent!), chores, gardening, and emotional skills. Taking Out the Trash is literally designed for the littlest helpers!
Here’s how one mom of littles described it last year: “My kids are young so I wasn’t sure how much they would get out of it, but they took to it like fish to water. They woke up each morning thrilled to watch the campfire circle, and decide what classes they wanted to do. My oldest (6yrs) even asked to use my phone and show some of the videos to her friends. The speakers were excellent, the missions were very accessible even to a family of many littles. I would (and have) highly recommend this to any parent.”
At least 50 workshops are great for that age group, plenty to keep your kids busy! Focus for elementary kids is particularly on cooking, gardening, chores, hands-on skills, communication, and health.
Great news: the workshops geared for older kids will be perfect for yours someday too. When you buy the package, put a note in your calendar for a few years down the road and pull it back out. That’s the beauty of owning it!
This year has more teen-specific content than any previous season. Financial literacy (credit scores, car buying, home buying, compound interest), AI safety, difficult conversations, entrepreneurship (from a Wall Street Journal bestselling author), a 3-part suit series filmed at Jos. A. Bank, a teen panel on digital distractions and so.much.more!
Past seasons: “My teens who normally roll their eyes at me actually watched these and were asking to watch more.”
All workshops are labeled with an age group “and up” so no one feels too old to learn, including some of us adults!
Each camp leader has their own style, but everyone speaks directly to kids and teens in a pre-recorded, edited video, teaches their skill practically, and delivers a “mission” at the end. The mission is a concrete action step that can be accomplished in 5-15 minutes.
One camper reported: “I really appreciate as a busy mom, that the videos were edited to be concise. I felt like none of my time was wasted.”
The workshop pages include the video, a printable handout, a mission, and the teacher’s bio. No ads, no interaction with strangers, no distracting “play next” features.
YouTube has ads, algorithms, and rabbit holes. #LifeSkillsNow has zero ads, a private dashboard, and videos that end with a real-world action step instead of “up next.” Plus you’ll find skills here you’d never think to search for, all vetted and curated. We did the hard part for you.
Almost everything, except our purpose! We have 107 workshops in Season Five and no repeats from previous seasons. You’ll see some returning favorites with 100% new material, plus plenty of Mrs. Kimball and her kids. New this year: a massive gardening track (first ever), a leadership track (first ever), a 3-part gentlemen’s etiquette series, and more kids and teens teaching than ever before.
YES! Large families, neighborhood gatherings, homeschool co-ops, and daycare centers have all enjoyed #LifeSkillsNow workshops.
Depends on your child’s age and how they tackle their missions. All videos are 5-30 minutes. If your kid watches the tourniquet workshop, they could be finished in 15 minutes but might practice on stuffed animals for a week. If they dive into the 4-part vegetable gardening series, that’s a whole-summer project (plus the bonus workshop ONLY for paid customers!). This resource has no limits, just like your children’s potential.
Yes! Downloading is great for travel (more productive than a movie on a long drive) or if you have poor Internet or simply don’t want your kids online. You can also download all handouts as one PDF workbook + answer keys. Paid only feature.
No expiration! PLUS you can download everything to keep on your device no matter what.
No, but you can share your login with all your children for their own devices, AND you’re welcome to invite friends over to take the workshops together. You also have the option of creating child accounts so each kid tracks their own progress.
Yes! All workshop videos have closed captioning. Written summaries are provided for workshops where it makes sense (mostly teen and parent content that doesn’t require visuals).
When you purchase Season Five, you keep access forever with no additional fees. Each season contains completely different workshops from mostly different teachers, so purchasing one doesn’t include past or future seasons.
Try out the workshops, watch your kids implement a few missions, see what you think — and if you don’t love it, let us know by June 30th and we’ll give you a full refund. You’ll have unlimited access to all the content, so even if you use every piece and still ask for a refund, we’d give it to you because we believe in this collection of workshops that much.
