Bear Grylls Survival Academy
The ultimate outdoor camp experience is here
NRMA Parks and Resorts have exclusively partnered with legendary adventurer, Bear Grylls, to bring his action-packed four-part survival program to Australian shores.
Ideal for school groups, the Bear Grylls Survival Academy is a fantastic way for students to have some good old-fashioned fun in the great outdoors. The program instils confidence, teaches team building and leadership skills. Students will also overcome fears and build resilience, all while learning to bond as a team, problem-solve, and most importantly – never give up.
The program includes learning how to build a bush shelter, tie knots, navigate using a compass, prepare and cook damper, camouflage in the wild and, perhaps the most fun of all, discover bush foods.
