Nature Survival: Food and Water
Foraging for food sources in nature, finding and purifying water.
In this introductory class to survival in nature, participants will learn the 5 priorities of survival, and touch on each of these with interactive activities. Throughout the weekend, each participant will have the chance to work on finding water, finding food and leaving nature the way you found it. You just never know when you will need those skills and be pleased that you took the time to learn them.

Instructor Bio
Geli Alvarez
Nominee for the most creative teacher award! Geli Alvarez worked with children with disabilities, impoverished communities and homeless children in Venezuela and Brazil. He is a Visual Arts teacher with 10+ years of experience in art therapy. Husband and father of three, he is the epitome of resourcefulness.
He survived 5 days and 5 nights across the Florida Straight at the young age of 16 years old, when he left his homeland of Cuba to come to the United States.
Since then, he has had to survive quite a few experiences, including a jaguar sniffing him up and down in the Brazilian Amazon, close enough to raise all the hairs on your body. He brings an enthusiasm to basic nature survival to the students of The Academy at the PARC as he attempts to convey all that he has learned through training and personal life experience.
This place is a dream come true for a child. The only thing missing is Peter Pan!
