The Wilderness Awareness School is focused on helping kids develop an understanding and appreciation of the natural world, connecting with other students, and growing their self-awareness and self-appreciation. Over the course of their week at camp, your child will have fun, explore the world around them, and learn from our nature-based curriculum.
Campers will spend an exciting week honing their ability to survive in the wilderness! They’ll learn to build a fire from friction, identify and harvest edible and medicinal plants, cook over open fire and coals, and create a shelter. We’ll teach knife safety and guide them through awesome adventures off-trail. Campers will connect with their fellow survivors as they make fish spears, tools, baskets, and rope.
Campers will enjoy:
-Making primitive friction fire kits
-Identifying and harvesting wild edibles
-Crafting fish spears, tools, baskets, or rope
-Learning the safe use of knives as tools
-Enjoying fun adventures off-trail
