Spring Break Wilderness Survival Training for Youth
(5 days, from 10 am to 5 pm)
About the Spring Break Wilderness Survival Training for Youth
The Wilderness Survival Training program for youth is a five-day educational training program that runs during Spring Break. This is not a typical camp and youth must come prepared to learn. ONE WITH NATURE teaches bushcraft and wilderness survival skills to youth who are willing to develop and focus on their outdoor skills. This program covers knowledge about wildlife, safe fire lighting techniques, open fire cooking, trip planning, risk assessment, survival priorities, safe handling techniques for knife, axe, saw and shovel use, shelter construction strategies, navigation basics and advice on how to build your personal and family Wilderness Survival Kits. Making use of nature’s resources as harmlessly as possible is our priority. Thus, during our programs, not a single living tree is damaged. The Wilderness Survival Training program illustrates how to use natural materials without disturbing nature at the same time. Our aim is to encourage a new generation that cares for nature. During the program, teens will build a significant connection with nature. The main part of the program incorporates hands-on skills building.
Each group has a maximum of 10 participants.
