In this 5 day amp our student will learn: Day 1 - The survival mindset/shelter making/several ways of making a fire Day 2 - Finding water and filtering/purifying it /finding food (berries, plants, and meat) Day 3 - Navigating/Signaling/Gear/Gadgets/Knives Day 4 - Desert/"Lost at Sea"/Cold Weather Survival (extreme climates) Day 5 - Dangerous and venomous animals (how to identify and avoid them) This class serves as a great overview of wilderness survival basics. **If your student has taken my ongoing Urban and Wilderness survival class, this class would not be needed, unless you want a refresher. The skills learned in this class will greatly improve the chances of surviving if lost in the wilderness. Its a great and fun class where I talk about my experience and training, and I utilize pictures and videos to grab the students attention. This class is very engaging where I highly encourage class participation. This class is great for shy students as well as learning survival I believe greatly boosts confidence. **Unless there is an emergency I do not mind teaching a class with only 1 student in it. So there is no need to worry about me canceling for that reason.
Learning Goals
What your student(s) will learn in this class will significantly improve their chances of staying alive, if they are lost in the wilderness.Other Details
Parental Guidance
In this class we will talk about fire making techniques but I always emphasize that students should always and only practice with their parents. We also talk about hunting and trapping animals and field dressing, but I don't show any graphic or bloody pictures at all. We also talk about knives, knife sharpening and knife safety. No need to bring a knife to class though.
Supply List
Please bring a bottle/glass/cup of water to each class to hydrate with me, as proper hydration is important.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
