Join us for an exciting journey into the heart of Florida’s wilderness! This hands-on course is designed for those looking to deepen their knowledge of Florida’s unique ecosystems and enhance their wilderness survival skills. Participants will explore the diverse flora and fauna of Florida’s natural environment. We will also combine advanced bushcraft techniques with a focus on practical wilderness medicine. All this will prepare students to respond to medical emergencies in remote environments. This program is geared towards students aged 8+ (with exceptions)
Students will each have a survival pack with tools that will be used throughout the program (there is a one-time $50 supply fee for the survival pack and students will keep them after the program).
Each class will be held from 9am-1pm and cost $50.
We are a PEP scholarship direct provider
