Master essential wilderness skills: ignite fires with wood or stones, construct shelters, craft knives from flint, identify edible wild plants, weave ropes or baskets from natural fibers, set traps, and fish. For the first time this summer, Sainte-Croix Animal Park in France's Meuse region offers hands-on training in self-reliant living amid pristine nature.
Exclusive small-group sessions (15-20 participants max) are led by experts Kim Pasche, a primitive skills specialist and Canadian trapper, and Teddy Moncuit, acclaimed globetrotter and wildlife photographer. No Koh-Lanta experience or star navigation needed—just power off your phone during the day. Hear wolves howling at night? You're not imagining it; the camp sits mere hundreds of meters from the park's wolf packs.
