Who we are

Who is the MANCATION founder?

Born and raised on a midwest farm, Tom Green grew up as a Boy Scout with a deep respect for the outdoors. While spending countless hours with his family hunting, fishing, exploring, and constantly testing his limits.

That drive carried over into his athletic career which eventually brought Tom to San Diego, CA. Where he trained as a high-level sprinter and Olympic hopeful at Chula Vista’s Olympic Training Center.

After retiring from athletics, Tom built a couple businesses, but something vital was missing…the challenge, the connection, and the raw energy of nature and deep bonds with people who are doing difficult things together.

In 2011, Tom started hosting “excursions” with a few close friends. He coordinated experiences designed to push him and his friends mentally and physically while rediscovering the skills and grit that modern life often dulls.

Over the years, those trips evolved into something much bigger. What started as a few rugged trips among friends has evolved into MANCATION…a place designed to reconnect people with challenge, camaraderie, and the wild outdoors through hands-on learning and adventure.

Although the original excursions were only for men, it’s now a home offering services for ANYONE & EVERYONE hungry for more than comfort. *Including specialized classes for kids.

Here at MANCATION, every experience is guided by the world’s finest instructors — including Navy SEALs, first responders, survival specialists, and other elite professionals who bring decades of real-world experience to each lesson. From wilderness survival and tactical skills to leadership and mental toughness, our instructors don’t just teach…they inspire you to learn REAL skills. Forge REAL bonds. And enhance our abilities to excel in REAL life.

Come to MANCATION if you seek more out of life…strength, skill, confidence, and brotherhood. This is where men (and women) push limits, earn respect, and rise to a higher standard of living.
