Winter Survival Skills Camp

We will meet up at Xwander headquarters at 10:00. We will gear you up for the Aurora Camp adventure with overalls, boots and gloves if needed.

Once we arrive at the camp, our expert guides will provide hands-on instructions on using snow to our advantage.

Next, we’ll delve into firemaking techniques, exploring the different types of wood, how to cut and prepare it and maintain a fire. Safety and environmental responsibility will be emphasized throughout the session.

Our excursion continues with navigation training, covering the use of maps and compasses as well as natural navigation methods. Participants will learn to interpret signs in nature and stars to determine directions.

In between honing our survival skills we enjoy a campfire lunch.

Total duration of the activity is approximately five hours.
