Family Wilderness Survival Weekend (South)

Join us for the second annual Kaykima Family Wilderness Survival Weekend! This program is set up for new and seasoned campers and is an affordable way to get outside with the family, get off screens, learn new skills and explore some new areas of the province. If you are new to bushcraft and survival these weekends are a great way to learn and build upon new skills. If you have taken Kaykima classes before this is a great opportunity to practice your skills in "real life" situations in the wild. 

All camping set ups are welcome: tents, RV's, trailers etc. Or if you'd like you could sleep in the shelter you built!

The fee covers all members who live in the same household. Contact Rob if you are planning on taking individuals outside your household.

Due to the location being a public area there is a small possibility that camping spots may be limited. There is a secondary camping area a few kilometres away for overflow if that is the case. You would just need to drive over to the program site. Rob will be there at least a day early so feel free to come early as well to pick your campsite. 

The site is on Crown Land therefore all land use rules and regulations apply. 

There are no washroom facilities onsite. A latrine will be set up for use. Please bring own toilet paper. 

The program will run RAIN OR SHINE. Please prepare accordingly.

There is some cell service. However an emergency satellite phone device will be on hand.

If you'd like to purchase a knife, ferro rod, or ferro rod holder (to fit Morakniv Companions) then please select them on the registration page. The cost will be added to the class fee.

Participants will receive an email with more detailed coordinates to the site as well as any updated info on fire bans etc.prior to the weekend.
