Event Description
Get started with a fun and active introduction to survival living. Skills taught in this day-long course prepare each student with the knowledge of how to stay alive during the first few weeks of a survival situation. Students will create shelters that will keep them warm and dry in most environments, make friction-fire by 'rubbing two sticks together', purify water with hot rocks, team building fire challenges, learn safe edible plants, create cooking vessels, traps, practice primitive hunting with the Atl-Atl spear-thrower and learn how to stalk through the woods silently with fun and challenging blindfolded awareness games. Interwoven into all of the courses will be activities to encourage cooperation, respect for the natural world, one another, and appreciation for real adventure.
