Spring Break Wilderness Survival Training for Kids (5 days, 6 hours per day)

The spring break program for kids focuses on safety outdoors and introduces wilderness survival and bushcraft skills. This program is not a typical camp as we foster a learning environment. We want kids to feel safe and confident in the outdoors. They will practice outdoor life skills using hands-on activities and scenarios to aid in critical thinking. Helping a new generation to care for nature and our environment is our goal here.

Summer Camp, Bushcraft and Wilderness Survival Summer School for Kids (10 days, 6 hours per day)

This summer school program for kids is a great way to get kids interested in nature while developing key bushcraft and wilderness survival skills. This is not a typical camp as we foster a learning environment. Kids will learn how to use resources in their natural environment without harming it. They will become more confident in nature and learn about how to best prepare for unexpected situations.

Private Program - Bushcraft and Wilderness Survival for Kids

This is a one-to-one private program for kids who are keen on developing their bushcraft and wilderness survival skills more intensively. After a skills assessment, the instructor will work with the student to create a program that reflects their needs.

Custom Program for Kids with Special Needs

This custom program focuses on kids with special needs. The first session consists of a discussion and consultation. The instructor identifies goals and builds a custom program for the child’s needs. All programs occur solely in the outdoors in a forested area. We teach appropriate and safe handling of cutting tools. However, cutting tools are only involved in the program if the instructor deems it appropriate after an evaluation of the student’s capabilities. When kids spend time outdoors with our instructors and learn outdoor living skills, they make incredible progress in how they control their behaviour.
