What does it take to survive in the Alaska subarctic environment? How should we prepare to spend time outdoors? What can we do to stay alive when things go wrong? Through hands-on experience with fire starting, shelter building, orienteering, and other skills, students learn techniques to stay warm, healthy, and secure in the outdoors.

Recommended for grades 4-6; however older students are welcome too!
