This course introduces students to our school’s main elements, survival skills, tracking, and awareness. In this week long course students will gain hands on experience and time tested information about survival shelters, water filtration and gathering, and friction fire skills such as bow drill and hand drill.
Join Roots with your child or your whole family for an overnight camp out and wilderness skills. All experience levels welcome.
Wilderness skills, wildlife tracking, nature exploration, games, and more await students at this week long day camp. This can be the perfect way to introduce children to wilderness skills and connections to the natural world.

"I just wanted you to know what an amazing experience my daughter, Sarah, had at "Way Of The Bow". Her bow was far beyond what we expected. All I can say is Wow! It's fast, silent and accurate. She will definitely be back."
"Roots helped our son, Caleb, stretch his comfort zone, learn life skills and grow in confidence. We are appreciative and grateful to the Roots staff for their focussed mentoring and instruction. His outdoor skills have become the foundation for his maturity and confidence."
