Prerequisite - Wilderness Survival Overnight Camp Bushcraft is designed for campers who have completed at least one week of Wilderness Survival Overnight and who enjoy focusing on crafting for extended periods of time. We will set up our "primitive living" camp on Coho Ridge (our rustic 20-acre parcel) and create projects that will make our camp feel more like home. Adventure far out into the deep woods on fishing and gathering missions by day and craft around the fire by night.
