This 8-13 year old camp is an immersive, hands-on adventure designed to teach kids essential first aid and survival skills in a fun, engaging, and action-packed environment. Throughout the week, campers will participate in interactive activities, including choose-your-own-adventure games to assess risk, and realistic first aid scenarios where they’ll practice responding to common injuries and emergencies. They will also tackle exciting group survival challenges such as shelter building, fire making, and map navigation, all while working together to apply their skills in a team setting.
