Rescue Rangers Day Camp
Join Wild Maine Med for Rescue Rangers: A First Aid and Survival Skills Camp!
Rescue Rangers with Wild Maine Med is a one-week, full-immersion adventure where kids step into the role of first responders while building essential wilderness skills through fast-paced games, realistic scenarios, and hands-on challenges. Campers learn to assess risk, recognize immediate life threats, and take meaningful action– building confidence, leadership, and clear communication along the way. Each day blends essential first aid skills with practical wilderness survival training.
From treating injuries and managing emergencies to building shelters, tying knots and navigating with maps and compasses, campers develop real-world skills they can use in both everyday life and outdoor adventures. From scavenger hunts and relay races to high-energy simulations and customized game-shows, each day is active, playful, and purposeful. Learning extends beyond camp through home challenges that invite campers to share their skills with family members, reinforce key concepts, and earn tokens toward building a customized first aid kit at the end of the week. This isn’t a typical day camp– it’s an immersive experience that helps kids see themselves as capable, trusted, and ready to respond when it matters most.
Ages: 8-10 August 17-21.
