Survival Skills Camp Wash Park - 2nd to 7th Grade - Day Camps

Our Survival Skills summer camp teaches campers the power and amazing value of the natural world as they learn to survive and thrive outdoors. Taught by our expert instructors, campers spend a full week exploring and learning essential survival skills—navigation, animal tracking, tool making, fire building and safety—to keep them self-reliant and safe in the wilderness.

Campers take on challenges suited to their age and skill level, advancing as their proficiency increases. We also group them by grade range — 2nd – 4th graders or 5th – 7th graders — giving them the customized instruction they need to hone their survival skills and build confidence outdoors.

Survival Skills Day Camp campers don’t need any previous survival or outdoor experience.

THE WEEK’S ADVENTURES

Hiking

Survival Skills

Canoeing

On their hikes campers learn basic navigation skills, explore the principles of Leave No Trace and learn to observe and identify useful plants as they build awareness, appreciation and respect for the world around them.

We teach campers how to track animals, identify scat, find food and medicine in the wild and fashion utensils and shelter from gathered materials. We also cover the basics of flintknapping, tool making and fire safety, giving campers hands-on practice with hand-drill and bow-drill fire tools.

Campers learn the basics of paddling a canoe, getting familiar with water safety and canoeing equipment as they hone their technique. They’ll also learn how to read terrain to lead them to water and purify the water they find.

Camp Value

Why Sign Up For Multiple Sessions?

Based on our experience (and a bunch of brain science), we know that multiple sessions of Avid camp will benefit your child – it will result in greater skill development, increased self-confidence, higher levels of risk assessment/environmental awareness, and an improved ability to connect socially with others and make new friends.

WE TAKE SAFETY SERIOUSLY

While no outdoor adventure is totally risk-free, we work hard to keep your kids safe. Every activity starts with a discussion about the risks involved -- what they are, how to prevent them, how to respond if something goes wrong -- so kids learn how to approach challenges with intelligence and skill.
