Bow Drill

Do you know how to build a waterproof shelter out of nothing but sticks and leaves?  Can you make a campfire without using any matches?  Join us for a week of learning real survival skills! Spend the first day exploring Audubon’s Sanctuary, focusing on enhancing your Wilderness Awareness. Tuesday, travel to Oxbow Park to study the art and science of animal tracking on the Sandy River flood plain, where Black Bear, Bobcat, Red Fox, and Mule Deer visit regularly. Then, practice your newfound skills on a two-night overnight trip to our rustic Marmot Cabin.  Our goal is to provide campers with a fun “whole systems approach” to various Wilderness Living Skills such as: Animal Tracking, Fire by Friction, Ethnobotany and Debris Hut Construction. Our own Miller Wildlife Sanctuary, which borders the Bull Run Watershed, is the perfect location to foster these skills.
