Primary Objective:
To enable students to become skillful on
and respectful of the land. The student should learn the
basic camping skills as a matter of survival in case he
or she is ever lost or left alone in the bush. Camping
skills are basic to becoming a good hunter or trapper
and will enable students to become independent and
self-sufficient. Students with camping skills earn
respect from their peers and adults. The camp
environment is a good one for learning traditional Dene
knowledge and skills, and for learning why things are
done as they are. Finally, the cultural attitudes that
are developed with the camping skills will enable
students to live in both worlds. |
