Wilderness Survival and Bushcraft Programs for Kids
These programs are for kids aged 8 to 11 and 12 to 15 years
Bushcraft & Wilderness Survival Summer Camp (8-11 & 12-15 years)
The Bushcraft & Wilderness Survival Summer Camp is more than just an outdoor experience—it’s a hands-on training ground for building practical survival skills, problem-solving abilities, and self-reliance.
Designed for two age groups (8-11 & 12-15 years), this immersive 5-day program teaches participants how to adapt, think critically, and overcome unexpected challenges in both wilderness and everyday life. Through hands-on bushcraft training, they will:
Master essential survival skills – Fire-making, shelter-building, water purification & wild food identification
Sharpen problem-solving & decision-making – Learn to assess risks, navigate unknown terrain & stay calm under pressure
Develop resilience & adaptability – Train for real-world emergencies & unexpected situations
Strengthen outdoor confidence & teamwork – Work with peers to overcome survival scenarios
With two progressive levels – Pathfinder (Novice) & Trailblazer (Expert) – participants will advance from foundational bushcraft to advanced wilderness self-reliance, culminating in an overnight survival challenge for older youth.
Bushcraft & Wilderness Survival Spring Break (8-11 & 12-15 years)
The spring break program for kids focuses on safety outdoors and introduces wilderness survival and bushcraft skills. This program is not a typical camp as we foster a learning environment. We want kids to feel safe and confident in the outdoors. They will practice outdoor life skills using hands-on activities and scenarios to aid in critical thinking. Helping a new generation to care for nature and our environment is our goal here.
Custom Program for Kids with Special Needs
This custom program focuses on kids with special needs. The first session consists of a discussion and consultation. The instructor identifies goals and builds a custom program for the child’s needs. All programs occur solely in the outdoors in a forested area. We teach appropriate and safe handling of cutting tools. However, cutting tools are only involved in the program if the instructor deems it appropriate after an evaluation of the student’s capabilities. When kids spend time outdoors with our instructors and learn outdoor living skills, they make incredible progress in how they control their behaviour.
Private Program - Bushcraft and Wilderness Survival for Kids
This is a one-to-one private program for kids who are keen on developing their bushcraft and wilderness survival skills more intensively. After a skills assessment, the instructor will work with the student to create a program that reflects their needs.
