Description
This beautifully illustrated curriculum guide on outdoor survival training is geared to grades 5-7, and can also be used for grades K-12. Kids who take this survival training are taught skills that increase their chances of survival if they find themselves in an emergency situation while boating, hunting, or hiking. The activities were designed for southeastern Alaska but can easily be adapted to other parts of Alaska and the north.
Teachers who buy the instructor manual will be supplied with up to 25 student manuals free of charge. When ordering, please specify how many student manuals are needed. Additional student manuals can be ordered for future classes.
We help Alaska's students meet state content standards! The content standards (in PDF format) addressed by each lesson and activity are clearly identified. When you teach from these curriculum guides, you know right away which standards you are meeting.
"I've used your curriculum with students a number of times, and found the students loved the activities and had a terrific time learning important skills. I am again teaching a class on safety and skills in the outdoor with another group of public school students. This class is very popular among the students, with many more choosing this class than I there is room for. I guess I'll just have to offer it every year! Thanks for developing such a valuable curriculum."—Becky Germain, 5th and 6th classroom teacher, Anchorage
