Going Native Intensive

A Program for High School Students

A weekend or week of making stone tools, spears, shelters, fire-making kits, leather pouches, wilderness cooking and high adventure. Students learn both basic and advanced survival skills, and then embark on a semi-survival trek, under the guidance of our guides and trackers. An excellent senior project which involves tremendous personal investment, focus, attention to detail, a passion for learning and a thirst for encountering the edge! Perfect for students desiring a powerful immersion into nature that challenges them on many levels.

Please call us for a complete consultation, where we can determine based on your group's abilities, the length of your program and the season chosen.   We will be happy to create a program that will give your class a powerful and intense learning experience.
