We won't get to it all, but we will cover as much as possible, based on instructor and student preference. Our goal is to build initiative, self-control and judgment skills while connecting with the natural world and having fun. We use teaching scenarios based on real life survival and play survival themed games. This week ends with an exciting final scenario and a certificate of achievement. No prerequisites needed.
