Foundations

Do you want to learn some basic skills, tools and techniques that make it more fun to pump up your camp and how these translate to survival? Are you brand new to camping or do you want to increase your skill level? Have you been thinking about learning more survival skills, what equipment you need, and how to use it? Then this is the clinic for you!



Whether a beginner that has never set up a tent, or a bit of a woodsman looking to brush up on some skills, Colorado Camp Clinic will equip you with the knowledge and practice time appropriate for your skill level. 



We will cover the basics of each aspect of camp and survival. You will learn which equipment is essential and how to use it.  We will discuss the “why” so you can learn to improvise on principles.  Each segment builds on the last, enabling the skills to be practiced several times and incorporated with new techniques.
