Survive

 

Abandoned! Crashed! Stuck alone and scared in the wilds of Alaska!  That’s just the situation our poor Survivors find themselves in after their small Bush plane crashes into the forest 100 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska. What should they do?  How can you help?  That's exactly what your students will have to figure out as they work with our Incident Command Center to help our survivors "survive" until our rescue team can make it to them. This program will help to motivate students to learn and practice Life Skills, Character Traits, and problem-solving techniques.
