Basecamp Outdoor skills


EPIC Youth Programs / Summer CMS EPIC Enrichment Courses (6th-8th grade) / Summer CMS Friday Field Trips -
Summer 2025 Youth

Learn what it takes to survive the elements from our skilled staff. Activities are offered year-round and cover important topics, including the principles of survival, proper techniques for starting fires, building improvised shelter structures, and orienteering with a map and compass. Waivers are required to attend this field trip. We will send out a waiver via email prior to the field trip day. 

What to bring:

  • Sneakers or athletic shoes. No flip flops, sandals, boots, or crocs allowed
  • Athletic clothing
  • Packed lunch
  • Water bottle

We also ask that those with long hair make sure to secure it in a way that is safe from getting tangled during the flight simulation (ponytail, braids etc.).
