Zombie Camps Learn how to protect yourself and your fellow villagers from zombies with essential stealth and survival skills. This camp will show campers how to: build a shelter, make a paracord bracelet, use a fire/smoke bowdrill, forage for wild edibles, purify drinking water, pack a bug-out bag, develop an emergency plan, use a map and a compass and wrap a wound. There will be team building activities – as humans must be able to work together to survive the walking dead – including warp speed, keypunch, human knot, toxic river crossing, and on the final day, a Zombie Survival Obstacle Course! All campers will have the opportunity to play survivors and zombies in different scenarios and create some killer zombie make-up and costumes. For parents: Why a zombie camp? Because it will be fun! And campers will learn some valuable skills that will come in handy in a variety of challenging situations, such as leadership, emergency preparedness, and using resources effectively.
