Join us for a 9-part series where students learn about the 7 priorities to desert/wilderness survival. This survival skills class will cover the seven priorities of survival: Positive Mental Attitude, Wilderness First Aid, Shelter options, Fire, Signaling (including lost behavior), Water, and Food.
Some of the hands-on instruction that we will be doing includes creating a shelter (various kinds), wilderness first aid (caring for snake bite, bee stings, knife cuts, burns, etc), signaling (whistle and mirror), knot tieing (make a paracord bracelet), basic compass instruction/orienteering, fire (practice w/ a ferrocerium rod) and more!
ECO Survival Skills/Bushcraft is for children in 3rd-7th grade (approximate ages 8-13 yrs old). Survival Skills/Bushcraft offers a combination of hands-on practical application and some lecture as we learn the 7 priorities of survival. Older siblings are welcome to attend this class too but we will be running one for just older children.
Every other Tuesday 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm for 9 weeks. Class dates 8/20, 9/3, 9/17, 10/1, 10/15, 12/3, 12/17, 1/14, 1/28
Make sure to reserve your spot before it’s too late!
