This is an introduction to outdoor skills. Kids with lots of experience outdoors may find it too basic. Packing, camping, cooking, navigating, practicing leave no trace, and staying safe. Being outdoors involves a lot of skills and being comfortable and safe outdoors sets kids up for a lifetime of fun. We will explore native habitats, learn some new skills, and have a great time doing it. Leaves from WWF Office (669 Main St). Outdoor Skills will not be offered again until 2028.
