Description

For kids ages 7-13

Practice the arts of survival and community building in nature. Search for underwater discoveries. Figure out what it would take to live comfortably in the local woods. Along the way, meet new friends and learn about wildlife.

Our sites are the little traveled Gott Lane Woods, nestled in a beautiful woodland alongside several ponds and streams in Rockport, and Old Garden Beach. Alongside a merry band of intrepid explorers, you will learn how to make fires, build shelters, identify wild edibles, purify water, try to catch crabs, craft tools, and track animals. The plan for each day is decided at a morning meeting, by all of us together. You get to be the leaders as we find a way to survive and live off the land!

Sign up for one week at a time. You can sign up for as many weeks are you want.
Each week has a theme and its own survival story:
Week One: Creature Quest
Week Two: Uncharted Island
Week Three: Extreme High Tide
Week Four: My Side of the Island
