About This Activity
Gear up for grit and adventure to learn survival skills for various Texas ecosystems. • I will survive. Campers will safely start their own fires and build personal shelters with natural resources. • Is it edible? Campers will learn to forage for native plants and build a filter from disposable plastic bottles to purify water from natural sources. • You CAN play with your food. Campers will make cookies from local honey mesquite bean pods and yaupon tea from holly berries. • Call for help. Campers will create emergency signals using ground-to-air signals, mirrors and sound-producing devices. • Ready, aim, release!
