Wildernook Outdoor Skills Camp is a program for youth who are craving more time outdoors developing independence, problem solving and outdoor living skills. This program is designed to support participant growth and maximize confidence-building opportunities.

Our outdoor educators bring years of experience facilitating wilderness trips in all seasons. Whether preparing food, setting up shelter, building a fire, or learning to use a knife safely, participants will benefit from hands-on learning opportunities in an encouraging community.

Requirements: Participants must provide their own rain gear, day pack and lunch. This is an active program and participants should be in good physical condition to enjoy themselves (e.g. able to comfortably run for 15 minutes and walk for 60 minutes at a time) outdoors for extended periods of time. We have scheduled down time after lunch where kids can read, draw or play cards.

Times: 9:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Full registration requires our receipt of payment, health information and completed waiver forms. We are open to having children with additional needs, however, facilitators require advance notice of each participant’s health information in order to prepare for the session. Families who do not disclose pertinent health and learning considerations (e.g illness requiring additional care, life threatening allergies, and significant learning disabilities, etc.) before the program start date will not be permitted to participate and no refund will be provided.
