Essential Wilderness Skills

Join us for our Essential Wilderness Skills Course, a fun

and friendly exploration designed for everyone, whether you're a beginner or

just looking to refresh your skills! Over the course of six weeks, we'll dive into

the fascinating world of wilderness survival skills, learning valuable skills that

will not only boost your knowledge but also your confidence in the wilderness.

Each week, we’ll tackle a new and engaging topic, from purifying water (yes, it’s

easier than you think!) to mastering the art of building different fires for

different situations. You’ll discover the secrets of navigating with the sun,

moon, and stars, as well as how to use a map and compass. We’ll share tips on

shelter building, knot tying, and even identify edible and medicinal plants along

the way!

But that’s not all! We’ll also cover important safety skills like signaling for help,

ensuring you’re equipped with everything you need for your next outdoor

adventure.

This course is all about hands-on learning, friendly camaraderie, and fostering a

genuine love for the great outdoors. Gather your friends, bring your curiosity,

and let’s make some amazing memories together in nature! Join us, and let’s

adventure confidently into the wild!
