Bushcraft/Survival Skills
Bushcraft and Survival Skills at Camp Arrowhead immerse boys in the wild heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains — teaching them to thrive, not just survive, outdoors. Campers learn how to build fires, craft primitive weapons, and make their own bows and arrows. They study animal tracks, identify useful and edible plants, and explore traditional skills like hide tanning and natural cordage. Each lesson builds confidence, awareness, and respect for the natural world while connecting boys to the timeless spirit of self-reliance that defines true adventure.
