WEEK 1: Students immerse themselves in nature! Over the course of this week, participants will learn ways to connect to their landscape through learning the survival skills of our ancestors. Through games, primitive crafting projects, hands-on exercises and demonstrations, they will find the importance of independence, ingenuity, awareness, teamwork, and communication. Skills covered will include friction fire, primitive shelter building, natural fiber and cordage making, tracking, basket making, camouflage, primitive cooking, bird language, wild edibles, and more. This program is designed not only to give students the tools to survive, but also to realize the beauty of living close to nature. For students ages 10-17.
WEEK 2: Advanced skills for kids! This week is designed to expand on our beginning course with advanced shelters; more long-term projects; bone and stone tool work; pottery; advanced tracking; advanced cooking techniques; heightened awareness exercises; harvesting edible, medicinal, and utilitarian plants; and much more. This program will take participants to the next level of their crafting and survival skills, as well as their understanding of nature and themselves. A big part this week will be to get the students to work together to overcome challenges by honing their ingenuity, communication, and leadership skills. For students ages 10-17.
