In Mr. Winter's 5th grade class, students learned important survival skills such as basic first aid and compass navigation. Briana Smith, an EMT from Ferry County, taught them how to create splints using natural materials, while Jim Beckwith, a member of Ferry County Search and Rescue, taught them how to find north, south, east, and west using a compass and basic map reading skills.

On Tuesday, Miss Sage's 3rd-grade class faced the challenge of colder temperatures and rainy conditions as they learned basic outdoor survival skills. The students received instructions from volunteers of Ferry County Search and Rescue on building shelters, how to avoid getting lost, and the Rule of 3 for wilderness survival. After lunch, by the warming fire, the students put their new knowledge to use and built their own wilderness survival camp. During this activity, they learned the importance of teamwork, hard work, and patience. We would like to express our gratitude to the Ferry County Search and Rescue and parent volunteers who made this outdoor adventure program possible. Without their help, this program would not be possible.
