SKILLS
▪▪▪▪
Camp is challenging,
tough some times, definitely exciting, and truly an
unforgettable adventure. Teens are full
of energy and creativity and we channel those valuable
resources towards survival skills.
Creating friction fire is
an individual endeavor and also a team challenge. Each
teen makes his/her own friction fire kit learning how
to carve safely and effectively. As a group they
encourage and challenge one another. The ability to
create fire from the natural surroundings is very
gratifying, personally rewarding and a unique skill.

TRACKING &
CAMOUFLAGE
▪▪▪▪
Wildlife is always a
favorite with all our campers. Tracking is more
than the art of visually identifying tracks in the
mud. Once our campers become familiar with the
more noticeable tracks and signs, they start
to pursue the less obvious.
Teens begin to develop
and use more of their senses and can tell what animal has
passed by just by the scent trail left behind.
Nature is adept at using all senses in determining
encounters with the unknown. Many animals have a
unique odor and can be tracked using our sense of
smell.
In nature prey animals
are especially cautious and use camouflage and what
we call, "Fox walking", as a means of
survival. Teens practice these behaviors in
games of skill and technique.

HIKING
& BACKPACKING
▪▪▪▪
Day and overnight hikes
are short and long, up creeks, across boulder fields,
through forests and meadows, the terrain is ever changing,
challenging and fun. Walk, crawl, slither, jump, teens do it all with courage and
determination.
During these excursions a field
teens learn about map reading, path finding and wilderness
orientation.
|
Time is on our side and we flow with the
rhythms of nature.
|
Teens rally together
and help around camp learning the importance of
"leave no trace camping". Food is
very important to our teens and they join in the
cooking experience using Dutch ovens and making bread on
a stick.
Activities abound at a
Lifesong Adventures Teen Camp and you never know
what you will encounter from the occasional coyote
serenade around the campfire or the deer strolling past
your tent. Laughter and good natured bantering
resound throughout camp.
