Intro to Survival Skills

What would you do if you became lost in the wilderness? This Experience is ideal for teachers, leaders, professionals who work in the wilds, or just anyone enthusiastic about the Great Canadian Outdoors.

You’ll spend a day in the wild learning about how to make a fire, build a shelter, find food and water, pack a survival kit, use a map and compass, build signals and other hands on field work. Plus at the end of the day you’ll receive Wilderness Training Institute Level 1 Certification!

At our Moon River location you may enjoy an overnight Experience for no extra charge. You'll sleep in your shelter...so pay attention to how it's built!

"We had a great time on our survival weekend. We learned a LOT!" - Laura
