Confident Kids
Kids love to explore with a natural confidence, often oblivious to the dangers. We encourage them to develop this confidence while becoming aware enough to know if they have strayed off the trail! Confident Kids is a ‘sampler course’ intended to spark your child’s curiosity while establishing safe exploration rules, development of rope and knife skills, basic fire and shelter building, plus an introduction to compass navigation. Kids ages 8-14 are welcome and each must have a parent/guardian with them for the day.
Time: 7 hours (0930-1630) Cost: $100
