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.

An amazing place with welcoming and patient staff, extremely kind and explained all the activities they had planned in depth for all the kids of various ages to understand. I would highly recommend this place to anyone considering homeschooling their child or just to come out and take the tour.
Jerica A. , mother of 9 & 7 year old children

My son struggled educationally and mentally in the general public school system for years. We tried several schools and the outcome was always the same. The Academy has not only changed my son’s life, but has changed our family’s atmosphere completely. His creativity, personality, and love of learning have truly blossomed.
