SURVIVOR EXPEDITIONS
Campers will learn several skills required to survive in the wilderness or just plain have fun in the woods. We will build shelters, campfires and go fishing. We’ll use games to learn about tracking animals and the food chain. We’ll talk about leadership skills and maybe eat a bug or two.
