Our goal is to teach the kids skills that they may need. This exercise shows them what they can accomplish with minimal resources. What are we going to do if we are on a long hike and someone gets dehydrated? If we can’t call for help what do we do?

A boy is learning to lash. This is a basic knot to attach two sticks. A basic survival skill.

Crucial to our goals is that the kids should have a blast while learning and get lots of praise!
