Wilderness Survival Camps

MAKING MORE ADVENTUROUS PEOPLE

5 day camps occur at local sites/parks where we teach a combination of survival, stealth and primitive skills along with freeplay and games that provide socialization and fun. Beyond being potential emergency lifesavers these skills definitely leave students better positioned to take on future adventures.  Additionally, camp curriculum is designed toward building confidence, competence (with skills and people), character and connection, largely through scenario based small team challenges.
