Description

The survival "Rule of 3" says that you can only survive 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. In this jam-packed week, campers will learn how to secure all of these things (and more!) by developing skills like plant identification, fire making and cooking over a fire, building stable shelters, and navigating the woods. On Thursday night, campers will have the option to stay overnight at West Point on the Eno and put their skills to the test. Campers will learn both primitive and modern ways to not only survive in the wild, but thrive!

In addition to the theme-related activities listed above, every week of camp may include some classic Schoolhouse activities such as: morning and closing circle, water time, deep woods and field games, whittling, storytelling, and of course, looking for any critters we can find!

Note:

For the campout, campers will be dropped off on Thursday morning, stay over Thursday night, and have camp on Friday. There is a chance the overnight date could change due to weather.
