3-Day Wilderness Survival Skills Workshop
Spend three days camping in a beautiful nature park nestled among wild prairie lands, hardwood forests, and a winding stream. Here we will practice skills that enable us to live close to the earth and sustain our lives (or even to thrive). Experiential topics include natural shelters, fire-by-friction, natural rope, wild edible plants & mushrooms, a variety of ways to cook over a campfire, and more. No experience necessary. We have had attendees in the past who had taken several other survival classes and found this one to be super beneficial.
Participants will sleep in the comfort of your own tent. However, if you're feeling adventurous and want to sleep in the shelter then by all means go right in! The camp location has pit toilets, shower house, and drinking water spigot.
You will need to bring a good knife and we will have some for sale on-site. Here's one that we recommend.
*Note: We do not provide food in this course - participants should plan to bring their own food to the class.

Thanks for stopping by! We get asked often about class offerings for adults and the truth is, we just don't have much time for offering very many. We are so busy with youth classes and summer camps. We do offer the 3-Day Wilderness Survival Skills Workshop every year in October.
