Spend five days immersed in studying outdoor survival skills! Wilderness skills not only provide valuable tools that can be life-saving in the outdoors, but also teach concepts needed in the event of a natural disaster. Survival skills enhance our relationship with the natural world and connect us with our ancestral roots.

This course includes detailed instruction and hands-on experience with:

  • Survival shelters for all seasons
  • Primitive fire starting skills
  • Identifying and harvesting wild edible plants
  • Locating and purifying water
  • Primitive hunting and trapping
  • Identifying animal tracks and sign
  • Stone survival tools
  • Nature observation and awareness
  • And much more...
  • Class days are full of activities and instruction. Students construct a variety of survival tools to take home and have the opportunity to spend a night in a survival shelter (optional). Includes free camping at the Alderleaf campus.

    "Alderleaf's instructors are a wonderful resource. We're so fortunate to have them. I was able to create the tools for making fire, purifying water, even making a survival shelter. I came here thinking I would see experts demonstrate advanced skills in wild crafting. I never thought I personally would experience the kind of success I did; making fire for the first time is awe inspiring. Thank you!"
    - Course Participant
