Survival Workshop-Camp Miniwanca May 8, 2024

On Wednesday May 8, 2024 I went up to Stony Lake and taught a one day survival course at Camp Miniwanca. In attendance were ten eighth graders all the way from Kansas City. It was a good experience. We covered survival needs in the wilderness, safe knife handling, primitive fire, shelter building, tripod building and medicinal tea. We found Plantain, Mullein and Blackberry. Using Blackberry leaves, we made an infusion over the fire. Shoutout to Max, who successfully turned an empty energy drink can into a make-shift container to boil water and to make the infusion. If you are ever near Stony Lake, I recommend visiting Camp Miniwanca, it is a beautiful destination nearby sand dunes and Lake Michigan. Please see attached video below.
