Outdoor Skills Camp

Start the new year off with a healthy dose of nature! Come spend time with us outdoors as we explore the ways both humans and animals survive seasonal changes. During this 4-day crash-course, students will have the opportunity to:

- track animals and find the special places of the fox, deer, and even armadillos spend their days

- find our way through the urban wilderness via orienteering, map making, and using the stars

- build winter shelters: an a frame-tarp habitat , a lean to, and a wicki-up and explore various methods to stay cool, or warm and dry.

- test our fire-making skills by helping each other learn the best techniques with and without matches, then bask in the warmth of our accomplishments by preparing food over the fire

- learn what "weeds" and mushrooms are edible...and which to avoid!
