Program Outline
Following a brief introduction to fundamental survival attitudes and skills, students will complete a number of self-guided stations in order to build up their survival skill toolkit. The students are then immersed in a wilderness survival situation from which they must escape… Amazing Race style! To survive the scenario, the students must demonstrate their ability to plan and pack for a trip, to safeguard their essential survival needs, to design and construct a wilderness shelter, and to safely ignite a wilderness fire to cook a wilderness delicacy. Across all components, students develop the attitudes and mindset of a survivor!
