Itinerary

Learning how to build a fire in the Kids' Course

We will have a rotating schedule for the Kids Course. See below for the other two rotations. We know some kids will only get to attend one year while others might attend multiple years. Therefore, we have added variety so there are three different courses. However, there are certain topics that we wanted to provide every year. These are topics that are important enough to have every year. Other topics are simply too fun, so they are also offered annually.

Survival and outdoor skills course for kids

Cost: $125 (includes 6 meals, drinks, snacks and ice cream social)

Kids Course is only available to children of a Registered Parent or Guardian.

We limit this to 20 children and we always fill this course, so sign up early to secure spots.

Occurring simultaneously to the main course, there will be a special itinerary for children.

Our talented Faculty will take turns teaching sessions. The kids will learn many survival and outdoor skills.

Fire-starting techniques
Ropes and knots
Climbing basics, including some rappelling
Much, much more!

The kids survival/outdoor skills course is open to kids older than 7 yrs old. It is geared towards children age 8-16. We found that older teens prefer to sit in on the main course. We like the kids to be at least 8 years old. Occasionally, we will accept a 7 year old who has a mature attention span (contact Bowman to discuss). Age 6 and under will have to wait until they are older.
