Wilderness Skills for Survival: Grades 5 - 8 at Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania
Our summer day camps balance exploration, nature play, and learning with games, crafts, science activities—and time to be a kid. Camps take place at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve (Fox Chapel), Succop Nature Park (Butler), and Buffalo Creek Nature Park (Sarver).
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
These are the skills you need to know now! Learn to recognize the best plants to use when building proper shelters and fires, then build them. Secure your shelter with knots using natural fibers, and cook over an open fire like a pro. Orient yourself with just nature as your guide.
