The last few years we have worked with an educator from Prescott Farms during our survival unit. The unit allows students to read about characters facing challenging situations where they must use survival skills. Thanks to the Naturalist we work with each fall, students learn shelter building, fire starting methods, first aid, and other skills to help them in a survival situation.
