Give your child the confidence and skills to explore the outdoors safely with our hands-on Survival Kit Making Class for ages 8–18. In this engaging and practical session, participants will learn about the essential gear needed for time in the woods—from fire-starting tools and basic first aid, to food gathering, emergency preparedness, and shelter-building essentials. With guided instruction, each child will assemble their own personalized survival kit using quality provided materials, gaining both knowledge and confidence along the way. By the end of the class, they’ll head home with a fully equipped, ready-to-go kit—perfect for their next adventure as the summer camping season approaches.
We will meet at the Alberta Shleter
