Join us for the return of Crow Call, our survival skills camp!
For three days, we’ll practice skills for securing shelter, water, food, and fire. Then we’ll put them to the test during an overnight survival camping experience Thursday–Friday!
We’ll learn about …
- Tarping and knots
- Making waterproof shelter from natural materials
- Purifying and transporting water
- Identifying and using wild edibles
- Creating food containers
- Trapping
This camp is designed for teens who are excited to spend most of each day engaged in focused skills, and is recommended for those with previous nature camp experience.
Crow Call is not regulated or inspected by the New York State Department of Health and is not required to have a Department of Health permit. This camp is not required to follow Department of Health regulations, including checking the state sex offender registry prior to hiring staff; maintaining minimum staff-to-child ratios; hiring medical personnel; or reporting injuries or illnesses to the Department of Health.
Nevertheless, Flying Deer is dedicated to maintaining the same safety standards that we do in summer camp weeks that are subject to Department of Health regulation.
