Learn the basics of outdoor survival along with some campcraft
favorites! Build fires without matches and construct temporary
shelters in the woods. Once you've made your basecamp, it's time to
eat...bugs! Discover how edible entomology is a sustainable food
source. Throughout the day, we'll also introduce some influential
women in STEM along the way.
Bring a lunch and a refillable
water bottle.
