Survival Camp
You find yourself lost while hiking in the woods with your group of friends. Cell phones have no signals. Your friend
just tripped and hurt their ankle. How will you survive until
a rescue party finds you? What should you bring along with you on such a trip? Do you know basic first aid to treat the injured? Can you make a shelter? How about building a fire? What could you find to eat? Where is water found and how
do you make it safe to drink? Come to survival camp and you will learn all of these skills! Participants will experience a wide variety of survival techniques. Be a good survivor: dress for the weather, wear sunscreen, bug spray and long pants, and bring a snack and bottle of water. There is an optional overnight on Thursday where you will spend the evening inside the Nature Center in your sleeping bag. There will be a night hike and campfire. Friday morning you will enjoy a pancake breakfast. To register for this part of the program you must have taken the Survival Camp and pay an extra fee. We need a minimum of 8 campers to run the overnight program.
