Description:

Forests, deserts, a tropical island… are you prepared? If Mt. Rainier (an active volcano) erupted, would you know what to do? If there were an active shooter situation, could you remain safe and help those around you? No one wants to be caught off-guard and unprepared. This class will cover a variety of survival situations from camping and hiking gone wrong to natural disasters and accidents. We will discuss preparation, assessing the situation, navigation, making/finding shelters, starting fires, locating safe drinking water, finding and cooking food, first aid, getting help, and more. Students will engage in hands-on activities each week to learn how to survive in these situations as an individual and as a member of a group.
