Your child will learn real-life wilderness skills to use the next time your family goes camping. They'll make fire with and without matches, learn to tend a fire safely and create delicious campfire snacks. Campers will build shelters and create fun and practical wilderness tools. We'll teach knife safety, wilderness navigation techniques, native plant identification and basic wilderness first aid while emphasizing teamwork, communication and decision making skills. The program will be led by staff from Shooting Star Adventures.
Participants should bring water, lunch and snacks and must wear closed-toed shoes that can get wet as well as appropriate clothing for the weather. Safety parameters will be updated and meet current standards regarding physical distancing, masks requirements, and sanitation at the time of the program. (As of June 1, standards are 6 ft. apart, masks suggested, hand sanitizer.)
Further details will be sent to families prior to the program. Please register by July 8.
