4-day, 3-night Wilderness Skills Summer Camp at ONSC

ONSC offers a unique, immersion-based approach to learning about nature and the natural sciences. Students visit us for authentic science learning experiences that are correlated with national and state science learning standards and provide in-depth education in biology, ecology, geology, social studies, and nature art – all while students have fun hiking and experiencing nature. 

ONSC's Wilderness Skills Summer Camp is for campers who want to learn all about what it takes to survive in the wild, from tools and skills to the mindset needed to handle adversities and problem solve in the wilderness.  Some of the skills discussed and practiced will include: 

• Mental preparedness 

• Environmental assessment and action plans

• Comfort management

• Sourcing materials from nature
