Programs

Teens will learn survival skills through hands on experience out in the woods. They will leave knowing a wide variety of outdoor survival skills like survival preparation, shelter engineering, fire science and safety, treating water, orienteering, pocketknife use & safety, and more! Plus, at the end of the camp they will get the chance to do a survival challenge where they will pack in & out to a wild location in the park to see if they could survive in a survival situation with only what they can bring in a day pack! The whole class is supervised by EcoElsa staff and builds off the knowledge from our youth & family survival classes or any other basic survival skills class. The skills are not only great for a lost/survival situation but also for camping and outdoor excursions as well as teaching teens’ confidence, self-reliance, teamwork, and problem solving.
