What will your teens experience look like at one of our camps? We hold to the belief that wilderness survival and confidence depends largely upon each individual’s capacity for adaptation, mental fortitude, willingness to learn and grit. We will teach or expand on current knowledge of knife, hatchet & saw use, different styles of fires (including steam pit cooking), tracking, plant ID and foraging, knife use & whittling, compass lessons and we will teach on what to do if lost in the woods (with team overnight challenge), water for survival, outdoor hygiene, bear safety and so much more (plus much fun!).
