Overview

The Denver Group Wilderness Survival School is open to all CMC members with any hiking or climbing experience. This course is designed to provide the skills and self-confidence to increase your odds of survival in an unexpected stay in the wilderness. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, preventing a survival emergency, psychology/attitude, shelters, signaling, fire craft, and hypothermia. The course includes three evening lectures and an overnight field lesson that provides practical training/ experience in a simulated survival situation. This course is particularly informative to the novice/intermediate hiker, but even very experienced CMC members have found this school valuable. Wilderness Survival School is held each year, beginning in May. Watch the Mile High Mountaineer for course announcement and registration information. For more information, call the school director.
