Need some October Break Plans?! Nature Connection

Need some October Break Plans?! Nature Connection and Delta Recreation @deltacityrec are co-hosting a three-day camp during October break: Tuesday October 10 - Thursday, October 12. Outdoor Survival Week will be a three day event for youth ages 9-15 years held at River Bend Park in North Delta. Each participant will leave with knowledge about outdoor survival and a survival pack of their own.

While there, we will learn some basic orienteering skills, including how to read a map and use a compass.⁠
