This camp is designed for the teen who wants to take it up another notch with their camp experience and really challenge their outdoor skills! We will challenge campers to execute real life situations as if they were stranded in the backcountry! From ages 12-15, kids will have a blast learning basic survival skills such as but not limited to; building a fire, basic first aid, what to take with you in the wilderness, harvesting fresh water, fishing with simple tools, building a shelter, tracking, navigation, survival food, knot tying, edible plants and insects, and much more! Campers will also get to experience several team building activities to break up each day and have some fun playing kickball or canoeing, or completing a low ropes course! (Please understand this camp is all about having fun learning new things. This camp in no way certifies campers in anyway to be “expert outdoorsmen/women” but is simply to just further their knowledge of the woods!)
