Could you survive alone in the woods? Want to learn how? This five-day camp will introduce students ages 14-17 to the wilderness survival mindset and the skills they’ll need to make it happen: shelter building, finding water and food, fire making, navigation, and how to handle common outdoor emergencies. Students will learn to read the land, make wise decisions, and respond with confidence to challenging scenarios, all in a fun and encouraging environment.
