Bushcraft and Wilderness Survival

Students will be taught important aspects of Wilderness Survival. Proactive techniques such as filling a trip plan and developing an emergency action plan will be emphasized in order to prevent accidents from becoming long term survival situations. Survival techniques may include using a layering system for warmth, building shelters, signals and lighting fires using natural and improvised resources. Students will be required to complete a three day winter survival exercise using only a small safety kit.
