Father Son Survival Camp

Father Son Video

Adventure for Father and Son

Camping skills are fun to learn. We will learn to set up tents, string a tarp. And use a carving knife safely, we will work on making fire from rubbing sticks together, track wildlife, fish, and learn to walk silent in the woods. Plenty of time to swim, study and eat interesting insects, learn tree and plant identification, and eat more bugs.

Camping Skills for children

Camp cooking is hot dogs and roasting marshmallows over a campfire. But there is much more to cooking outdoors. Armies march on their stomach and so do campers. We will learn simple campfire cooking while discovering several ways to prepare a meal outdoors.
