Wilderness Survival Skills Camp teaches campers ages 12-16 how to live in nature without relying on a backpack full of gear. This isn't your typical hike-in-the-woods experience! Throughout the week, campers set out hiking through Belle Isle and surrounding wilderness while uncovering the secrets of wilderness survival. They'll master the art of making fire without matches, tracking animals, building debris huts and shelters, identifying useful plants, and much more. Campers start with basic camping gear and gradually learn how to replace it with resources found in the wild. By the end of the week, they gain the skills and confidence to thrive outdoors with nothing but what the Earth provides. This camp is active, high-energy, and filled with adventure—expect dirt, bug bites, and plenty of trial and error. With guidance, coaching, and some friendly competition, campers push their limits, build independence, and discover that the natural world isn't something to fear—it's something to embrace.
