If 2020 left you wondering what would you do if the power grid had failed or you find yourself and family in a survival situation, then don’t miss this great opportunity to put the Odds in your Favor while having fun learning the skills to thrive and survive!
Join Nationally certified interpretive guide, retired Fire department paramedic, and Level 4 certified NTS USA archery coach Nick DiCresce in these unique outdoor education classes - Hunger Games Camp or Survival in the Northwoods.
You will learn all of this from a Level 4 NTS USA Archery Certified Coach and instructor Nick DiCresce, a hunter who has harvested animals from 4 of the 7 continents.

And lastly, some very helpful gear to always take with you afield to help you be prepared!
