Eco-Discovery Camp

Child vs. Wild, August 13-17 for AGES 8-10

August 13-17 @ 8:30 am to 3:30 pm

*Optional evening program on Friday (camp day extended until 8:30pm, includes campfire dinner and night hike)

If you want to find out if you have what it takes to survive (and even thrive!) in the wild with just your skills and the supplies in your daypack, then this is the camp for you! We spend the week practicing outdoor skills such as fire building, cordage making, shelter building, use of a map and compass, off-trail navigation, and more. We’ll put our skills to the test through friendly competitions to determine our quickest fire builders, most skilled shelter makers, fastest map readers, and most successful wild edibles collectors.

Topics covered: fire building and safety; cordage making; shelter building; staying found; what to do if lost/S.T.O.P; rule of threes; what to always carry on a hike; map reading; compass use; topographical maps; off-trail navigation; edible and medicinal plant ID; edible invertebrate ID; animal tracking; spoon carving; water collection and filtration; Leave No Trace; basic Wilderness First Aid.
