Survival in the Bush, Inc. offers the adult learner a series of dynamic outdoor-oriented courses. The Wilderness Experience Certificate Program has been specifically tailored to provide students with many unique, exciting, and tactile learning experiences. As an example, our Wilderness Survival Courses, taught mostly in the out-of-doors, immerse the active learner in many realistic and challenging situations; as well, students will gain an insight into the psychological makeup of the survivor by analysing statistical data and discussing interview transcripts with lost victims; Moccasin Workshops teach participants the art of making these versatile, durable and beautiful samples of footwear; and our Intro. to Edible Plants course enables you to locate and identify native and introduced flora.
All students are encouraged to learn, develop, and progress at their own pace. In our classes, experienced and novices alike will benefit from the challenging, hands-on teaching approach. Due to the low instructor-client ratio, participants can expect, and receive, individualized attention.
Courses are held in south-central and the Bruce Peninsula regions of Ontario, Canada.
Who will benefit from The Wilderness Experience Certificate Program? Educators, naturalists, anglers, hunters, canoeists, outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, guide leaders, personnel from camps, or anyone whose job skills will be enhanced by special knowledge of the outdoors.
