Take the challenge of surviving in Tobico Marsh! Our day will begin with introductions to fire building and safety, shelter building, packing for preparedness, survival fishing techniques, a primitive archery shoot and more.

Participants will then have the opportunity to camp overnight in our designated primitive area on their own, either in a tent or in a shelter they build. A pit toilet and fire pit will be available to for use.

Cost is $55, which includes lunch and dinner on Saturday as well as clinic supplies.
