Survival Rockport 2020 Camp Themes

SESSION ONE (August 2-6) Land of Fire and Water

Survival Skills Focus: Exploring, Hiking, Rock Scrambling. Swimming, Fire Making

We are explorers on the search for a prized fire making tree that grows only here; a tree with wood that can start and hold a fire in any situation. Sadly, the stories we had been told about this place were all false, and we find ourselves navigating unforeseen challenges. We must race against time to find the grove of fire trees before it is too late.

SESSION TWO (August 9-13) Animal Rescue!

Survival Skills Focus: Tracking, Wildlife observation, Journaling, High Tech Nature Sneaking Equipment, Conservation

We are a team of field biologists that has been sent to the woods of Rockport to save all the weasel species in the region ( fishers, minks, ermine, and otters) because there are new threats to their survival. We must learn all that we can about their behavior and habitat. Some of the weasels were injured in a recent fire and we will need to care for them while caring for each other and surviving in the wild

SESSION THREE (August 16-20) The Legend of Rum Rock Lake:

Survival Skills Focus: Toolmaking, Shelter Building, Wayfinding, Group Problem-Solving

Many myths have circulated about this strange place. Our team was sent to try to uncover its secrets, but we became lost here, as our compasses were leading us in circles and our electronics were malfunctioning due to unexplained interference. Rum Rock Lake wouldn’t let us leave! Now, our small team must build an outpost where we can survive using only the supplies we arrived with and eventually make sense of the mystery of Rum Rock Lake.
