Learn and live outdoors for 3-days within a small community
of individuals. Practice skills of basic human sustenance as
you immerse yourself in the natural world through native
skills, games, activities, challenges, and stories. Learn how
to take care of yourself and others in a variety of situations
be it wilderness survival, natural disaster survival, or even
urban survival… the principles are all the same. These
survival techniques are also a doorway to understanding
patterns in nature and living simply. The skills will come to
life through demonstration and hands-on practice in this
unique field experience course. You will leave with many
new skills and see with new eyes for living and learning in
nature.
