Now that the weather is heating up, the snow is melting, and the days are getting longer, driving season is starting. If you have a teen that just got their license, that likely means they’re itching to get out there and drive more. That’s why it’s so important that they attend a Street Survival school. Luckily, there are a ton on the calendar over the next few months.
When I first got my license, I attended a Street Survival school. Now, I grew up racing karts and felt I was pretty good behind the wheel, but really I was an overconfident kid who was good in a go kart and wasn’t yet used to the real roads. My first week driving alone, I spun my car. It was a real wake up call, and its the sort of situation that Street Survival is built to address.
The class I took reset my thinking around driving a car on the road in the real world, and gave me a dose of reality about how a car should be treated, since it really can be a weapon. If you have a kid who is learning to drive or just got their license, I think it’s indispensable. And if you want your chapter of the CCA to host a school, it’s now much more economical:
Starting now for 2026, any additional school that a current host completes in 2026 – above their 2025 total – will earn double the sponsorship reimbursement. That’s $2,100 for each extra school, compared to the standard $1,050.
Here’s how it works:
* If you hosted schools in 2025, every school you add in 2026 beyond that number qualifies for the double sponsorship reimbursement.
* If you did not host a school in 2025, your first school in 2026 will also qualify for the $2,100 reimbursement.
