Do you have what it takes to survive in the wilderness? Come learn the skills you need  from survival experts as they teach you how to gather and use what you find in the forest. Learn how to use a knife, create fire by friction, build survival shelters, gather food, find and purify water, and navigate using a compass!

In addition, our skilled instructors will teach you to camouflage yourself and walk silently through the forest with fun group games and activities. Blindfolded games will test your auditory awareness, and others skills in silent stalking. We will learn to hear and decipher different bird calls to gain a bird's eye view of activities going on in the forest.

This camp is great for anyone who wants to learn primitive skills needed to survive in nature and wants to learn different uses for plants in the area.
