4-Hour Wilderness Survival Class at Mountain Scout Survival School

In this urban jungle, day-to-day survival skills are things like knowing how to track down quality street food or managing to hail a cab at rush hour. Teach your child how to survive in the real jungle with today's deal: Pay $39 to enroll your 7- to 10-year-old in a four-hour wilderness survival class from the Mountain Scout Survival School (a $100 value). Or, pay $49 for a six-hour class or ages 11 to 13 or an eight-hour class for ages 14 to 16 (each a $100 value). Held in small groups in the closest thing we have to the wild, Central Park, this class teaches basic outdoor survival skills to kids. Led by a wilderness expert, national tracker, and former pro stuntman, the hands-on class covers everything from safety and awareness to skills like making fire and tracking down potable water. Students will even learn which plants can be used for food and medicine in a pinch -- a perfect way to get a taste of the woods without even leaving the borough.
