Build a Primitive Shelter at the Park

Build a Primitive Shelter at the Park
Sunday, September 12,  10:00-11:30 pm

Knowing how to construct a shelter can be just for fun, or it can be a means of protection should you suddenly find yourself faced with a survival situation. No tools are needed to build a safe structure that can keep you warm, dry, and protected from the elements. Participants will learn how to decide on an appropriate location to build a shelter and what materials to collect. A great opportunity for scout troops, home-schooled families, or other youth groups to participate in a team-building project!

Saturday, September 18 - 9:00 am
