24 HOUR WILDERNESS SURVIVAL

Spend 24 hours in our woods during our Overnight Survival challenge! Instructors Eric Powers and Mike Evans will guide this immersive experience, which includes setting up a group campsite, foraging and resource walks, establishing fire, trying your hand at cordage and more.

Guests will share in a communal dinner where everyone shares their favorite camping dishes, then enjoy a complimentary hot breakfast on Sunday morning. This challenge isn’t just a test; it’s a testament to your readiness for whatever the wild may hold!

This program is geared for adults and children 14+ only. Minors under 18 must have an accompanying adult.

Participants should bring camping gear to spend the night comfortably, and the following gear/supplies are recommended:

  • Sleeping bag
  • Tent
  • Day hiking books
  • Bird guide
  • Weather-appropriate clothes (layers recommended)
  • Work gloves
  • Camping / Survival Knife (some will be on hand to borrow and/or purchase)
  • Your favorite “go to” camp-out food for potluck dinner
