The goal of Survival Camp is to reconnect elementary aged children with nature. We want to teach them how to play outside and give them the tools to discover things on their own and guidance to keep them safe as they do it.
KV Survival Camp 2023
BGC Greater Saint John has partnered with the Hammond River Survival Camp to offer the same great camp at a different location!
In a survival setting, effective teamwork is essential. That’s why we split our campers into teams at the beginning of the week! Not only is it practical, but fun too. Teams compete for points throughout the week, and there is a final challenge each Friday to determine the ultimate survival team!
