Shelter, Water, Fire, Food

This 8-hour program offers a comprehensive introduction to Wilderness Survival & Forest Craft skills!

Discover the knowledge and experience necessary to stay safe and comfortable in the wilderness. Our expert instructors guide you through hands-on, interactive lessons on building shelter, starting a fire, finding water, and foraging for food.

What We Teach

This 1-day class teaches bushcraft skills with the importance of being prepared. We address how to develop the right mindset for any survival situation. You learn how to stay calm, think clearly, and make smart decisions, even in challening situations.

Beyond survival, you learn skills that help us to thrive in both the modern and wild world. From our introduction to edible plants to learning about animal tracks and trails, nature becomes a place of bounty and connection as we focus on stewardship for the places we live.
