Description

Let’s gear up for an adventure-filled week as campers design and build a forest village to use as our basecamp where we'll learn and practice age-old skills for surviving in the wilderness. We’ll try to create as many different kinds of forts and structures as we can, including elevated platforms and ladders using old-fashioned lashing skills. When we’re not busy with construction, we'll learn about fire safety and then try our hand at primitive fire making techniques like flint & steel and bow drills, and more! Whether your camper is new to bushcraft skills or a seasoned camper, we've got something new for them in this exciting camp!

Note:

We try to spend as much time outdoors as possible, even on chilly days! Please send your camper dressed for the weather. If it’s warm enough, we will try to have water time!
