Survival Skills

In our Wilderness Survival program, campers come away feeling empowered and knowledgable about their own wilderness skills and connection with nature. They spend time learning to recognize plants, track animals, build shelters, purify water, and start fires. They play games, tell stories, and engage in deep listening with the earth and the wilderness of the forest. They'll learn tangible backcountry skills like cooking over the fire, setting up a tent, finding shelter, and navigating with a compass. Some favorite electives in our Wilderness program inlcude whittling your own spoon, cooking on a fire, harvesting wild clay, and learning how to start a fire with a bow drill!
