Wayzata Community Ed

Teens will learn essential survival skills through hands-on experiences in the woods. Skills covered include shelter building, fire safety, water treatment, orienteering, and pocketknife use. The camp ends with a survival challenge, where participants pack in and out to a wild location, testing their ability to survive with only a day pack. Supervised by EcoElsa staff, this program builds on basic survival knowledge and is perfect for teens who have taken other survival classes. These skills are valuable for survival situations, camping, and outdoor adventures while teaching confidence, self-reliance, teamwork, and problem-solving.
