LCSAR also firmly believes in proactive survival education for young adventurers. The National Association for Search and Rescue’s Hug-a-Tree and Survive training program teaches children how to survive in the woods should they become lost. Their site has training materials available to start the survival conversation with your child, including an activity and coloring book.
