Outdoor Skills: Knots and Cordage - In School
Description
Put your students to the test with this practical skills lesson all about survival! We'll discuss outdoor priorities and preparedness, tie a variety of knots, and make our own rope. This is a great lesson to break up cabin fever.
Our recommended capacity for in-school programs is 30 students to ensure everyone gets the best hands-on experience, but they can also be done as an auditorium style presentation for larger groups.

Wild Roots Nature Center
Wild Roots Nature Center at Severson Dells Forest Preserve sits on 369 acres of prairie, savanna, and forest and features a winding creek lined with ancient rock walls. The land and lodge were donated to the Forest Preserves of Winnebago County by Harry and Fannie Severson in 1975, and the Nature Center was established in 1976. Our mission is to inspire conservation of nature through education and stewardship, cultivating connections between people and place.
Your group leaders will include our staff, AmeriCorps service members, and fabulous volunteers.
