Outward Survival | 2nd - 8th Grades

We're talking heart-pumping camp survival skills education! Outward Survival campers take it to the extreme with a curriculum designed and developed by former Marine Captains, scout experts, and veteran camp counselors. Campers will be trained in skills including fort building, snare traps, and strategic planning. This program is perfect for boy scouts, girls scouts, or children who simply love the outdoors and adventure.

  • Fire starting
