Fall is such a wonderful time to spend time in the woods, we are offering this special series
Survival skills are valuable on their own and make the perfect platform to encourage confidence and self-reliance all the while supporting teamwork, forging bonds between parent and child, and between fellow students. The activists covered make for valuable real life examples of scientific principals.
