Bay Area Survival Adventure!

Join our Scout Team

The ancient scouts walked queitly and silently in the forest. They protected the village. They were keen trackers and well versed in wilderness survival, bows and the ways of the animals.

Survive on the Land

We hone our awareness and journey into the wild places. Train to fire a bow by steady arm and keen aim. Learn to travel with ease through the wilderness with only the clothes on your back. Walk silently and invisibly through the forest, navigating by the sun and stars. Craft your own tools and shelter. And most importlantly, read the subtle signs of nature, honing your intuition and awareness of the natural world.

Thrive on the Sea

Experience the waterways of the East Bay in our traditional skin-on-frame umiak. Campers learn the basics of boating, working as a team in our traditional 24-foot umiak. We teach the fundamentals of boating safety from proper gear to navigating in a public waterway. They also come back with an appreciation for the local natural history of our area as we look for birds, marine animals and other local wildlife.

Train the Team

Whenever we introduce a skill we refine and test it with course challenges. Students work in a team to make decisions, complete group projects and overcome obstacles. These team skills are honed and put to the test throughout the course.
