Wilderness Survival Overnight is all about the skills. Campers stay engaged by learning all of our favorite survival skills and putting them to the test!
Campers will spend an exciting week honing their ability to survive in the wilderness! They’ll learn to build a fire, identify and harvest edible and medicinal plants, cook over an open fire, and create a shelter. We’ll teach knife safety and guide them through exciting adventures off-trail. Campers will connect with their fellow survivors as they support each other in learning and practicing their skills.
This overnight program builds on the skills taught at our Survival Skills Day Camp and goes much deeper, putting skills into practice and receiving more elaborate lessons.
Campers will enjoy:
- Discovering ancestral fire-making using the friction fire method and creating their own bow drill kit
- Building and tending their fire
- Identifying and harvesting wild edibles
- Building their own survival shelter
- Crafting tools, baskets, or rope
- Learning the safe use of knives as tools
- Hunting bullfrogs
- Learning practical ways to stay safe and survive if they are ever lost in the woods
- Enjoying fun adventures off-trail
Volunteers will be arriving at 10:00am on Sunday and leave on Friday at 4:00pm and will be camping on the land with instructors and students.
