MSU Tollgate Farm: Survival Camp

Howdy Campers! Welcome to week six of the MSU Tollgate Summer Adventures! We are so excited to have you as part of this incredible journey as we discover and explore the wonders of nature from a distance but together. On this page you will be able to explore a series of activities, videos, and tips that will help you get outside, creative, dirty, and learning!

Let your child’s adventurous spirits run free as they learn about the natural environment and the important tools of survival during this week of summer adventures. Survival Camp is the perfect camp for those who want to get down and dirty and put their survival skills to the test. This camp week will be filled with exciting skill building experiences like fire building, forest exploration, and a week-long STEM project focusing on shelter building.

We are using this summer camp platform as a way to stay connected this summer and get the youth outside and learning! We have decided to start a private Facebook Group for our blog this year as a simple way to help keep us connected. This private group will be a safe place to share pictures and experiences of your “camper” working on MSU Tollgate summer projects.
