WILDERNESS & ZOMBIE SURVIVAL: ULTIMATE MORNING CRASH COURSE

Zombie Apocalypse? Lost in the Woods? Community Schools Outdoor Adventures has got you covered! Let’s be honest—sleeping in is great, but learning how to survive a hypothetical wilderness emergency (or a sudden zombie outbreak) is way cooler. If you’ve ever wondered if you have what it takes to survive in the wild, stop wondering and come find out!

This isn't a boring lecture about knots. This is a hands-on, fast-paced morning crash course where you’ll learn the ultimate real-world cheat codes for staying alive. What You’ll Master:

The Art of the Shelter: Can you build a shelter out of branches and leaves that actually keeps you dry? Let's test it.

Fire-Starting 101: No matches? No lighter? No problem. Learn the science of spark and tinder (responsibly, of course!).

Navigating Without Google Maps: What happens when your phone dies? You'll learn how to read the shadows, use a compass, and track your way home.

The MacGyver Mindset: Discover how to turn everyday trash and random items into life-saving survival tools.

Warning: Side effects of this class include extreme self-confidence, sudden urges to go camping, and looking incredibly cool in front of your friends. Bring your morning energy and your inner adventurer. No experience required—just a willingness to get your hands a little dirty before the school bell rings. Are you ready to become unstoppable? Space is limited, so claim your spot before the wilderness claims you!
