Programs
This program builds on the skills participants learned during Adventure Eagles- Survival 1 week. We will meet five days in a row. Each day will have a different theme. We will cover (not necessarily in this order): Mud and Camouflage - games of hiding in the woods; Knife Safety - intro to carving with a fixed blade; Silent Awareness Walking - blindfolded awareness and more carving; Flint and Steel Firemaking; Introduction to Animal Tracking.
You do not have to have taken Survival 1 to participate, but it does build on those skills covered in that course.

• Monday, May 5 - Friday, May 9, 2025
• 3:15 - 5:00 pm
