Building self-confidence and self-reliance, basic navigation enriches our outdoor experiences and fosters a deeper connection with nature.

Next, you'll be introduced to the art of compass reading, unlocking the ability to comprehend directions and bearings like a true adventurer.
But it doesn't stop there! You'll also learn the art of using Route Cards, enabling you to plan routes effectively and maintain a steady pace.
The true adventure begins as you put your newfound skills to the test. Working collaboratively as a team, you'll navigate around the campsite, seeking various items crucial for the next activity.

Improvised first aid is a vital skill for outdoor enthusiasts, enabling us to respond to injuries and medical emergencies with resourcefulness and ingenuity.

Whether it's using clothing as bandages, sticks as splints, or nature's resources for wound cleaning, this skill significantly increases our ability to handle unexpected situations in the wilderness. Being well-versed in improvised first aid is a crucial aspect of responsible outdoor exploration, ensuring the safety and well-being of ourselves and our fellow adventurers.

Moreover, you will be trained to use a portable stretcher and splint, gaining valuable insights into resourcefulness by utilizing everyday items for first aid purposes. For instance, you’ll discover how to use shirts as slings, showcasing the importance of improvisation in emergency situations.
