The Bushcraft course teaches students to thrive in an outdoor environment. This course is designed to introduce students to wilderness living and self-reliance beyond surviving. Students focus on building the skill set to make a camp comfortable and maximize its effectiveness while using the natural environment. We introduce students to alternative methods of camp craft within shelter building, fire making, water procurement, foraging and woodcrafts.
