Permission/Emergency Forms and gear list available at this link: Download Parent Packet. Please bring your completed forms with you to camp on your first day.

These are the skills you need to know now to survive in the wilderness! Learn to recognize the best plants to use when building proper shelters and fires, then build them! Secure your shelter with knots using natural fibers, and cook over an open fire like a pro. Orient yourself with just nature as your guide. This is an all day camp from 9 am - 3 pm. Students must provide their own lunches. This camp is open to campers entering grade 5 through grade 8 in the fall.
