Summer Camp Volunteers act as assistant instructors for our summer camps and receive training in our unique approach to mentoring youth in nature, which focuses on curiosity, play and asking questions as much or more than a delivery of facts. You can learn more about this approach by exploring Coyote’s Guide to Connecting with Nature, available from our web store.
At Survival Skills Day Camp, kids learn skills to survive and thrive in the wilderness using techniques that have been used throughout all of human history.
Campers will learn real-life survival skills in fun and exciting ways! Campers will gain techniques for making and tending fire. We’ll teach knife safety, how to identify and harvest wild edible plants, water purification, and delicious campfire cooking techniques. Campers will build shelters and create fun and useful crafts such as baskets, tools, spoons, or cordage (natural rope)
