Bush craft and survival
This program will introduce your child to the world of bushcraft and wilderness survival skills in a fun and insightful way, providing the perfect primer to begin his/her journey exploring the outdoors. The basic knowledge on ‘what to do if you get lost’ is applicable for both the wilderness and urban environments and is an essential training to have. Through guided, hands-on activities, your children will learn the arts and crafts of preparing for an adventure (what to pack and take so you don’t get lost in the first place), signalling, shelter making, finding water, fire making and keeping safe in the bush, which are crucial survival skills.
The program will be conducted as a classroom/ controlled outdoor activity at the Canning River Eco Education Centre at Canning River Regional Park in Wilson.
