The Boxtrolls, Paranorman, Coraline and Nightmare Before Christmas                         have one thing in common ­­ they are all filmed using Stop Motion Animation. We will learn this                                   technique using basic household items, and add music and narration. At the end of the week we                                 will have a screening of our new movie shorts!

If you were suddenly stranded in the wilderness, would you be able to survive? What would you                                 eat? How would you stay warm? What would you do for protection? As a team, you will work to                                     solve survival scenarios based on real world situations. Scenarios will include general survival,                         urban, desert/arid, tropical, and eastern U.S. woodlands. You will be immersed in the scenario and                             given dilemmas and problems that you must solve using research, creativity, imagination,                       teamwork and field craft skills taught by your instructor, a U.S. Army Veteran. If you are a fan of                                     Man vs Wild, or Survivorman, this class is for you!  **Tuition also covers a copy of the U.S. Army Survival Manual FM 21­76 for each student to keep.
