The YCS Survival School Is located in Central Ontario. Based in the heart of the Great Canadian Shield we provide a rugged and realistic environment for students to learn and use realistic skills in a realistic environment while still remaining in a safe controlled situation. 


With years of experience our instructors posses real world wilderness rescue and survival experience which they thoroughly pass on to their students.  Not based in a classroom, but outdoors in the real environment students may find themselves having to survive in.
 


We all can appreciate butane lighters, bottles of distilled water, and vehicle navigation systems that guide us to our favourite restaurants, but why and how do we have these items? Do we really need them? 

Today the topic of survival makes for great entertainment while sitting comfortably on soft couches, but why is it so entertaining? Is it the arduous adventure, the delectable meals, or could it be the discomfort others are feeling while we munch on processed potatoes?
 


Survival activities are wonderfully entertaining and educational, but they offer a considerable amount more if we place them in the context of our lives. How did our great grandparents provide for themselves?  


Would I be able to provide for myself, my family, as they did only a century ago? How about our grandparents of only fifty years ago?

Much is lost through the ages.
 
Difficult ways are often intentionally forgotten.
The hard times in our past are left out of the stories that we pass on to others.
Soon, large gaps replace relevant history in our lives.
 

We invite you to take a few steps back in time with us and learn how our ancestors lived. 
 



Sincerely Yours
The Staff of the YCS Survival School


Wilderness First Aid

 

 

 

As outdoors people we can all appreciate the importance of possessing survival skills. However an often over looked part of the survival training skill set is how to deal with medical emergencies and unexpected injuries while in a wilderness setting with limited resources and supplies.

 

Having seen first hand the negative outcomes that result from wilderness medical emergencies where those involved lacked quality wilderness medical training our instructors take it upon themselves to offer quality wilderness first aid training, in an attempt to reduce the number of life threatening medical emergencies that occur in the wilderness each year.

 

On our courses page you will find a listing of wilderness first aid courses we offer that should seriously be considered as an added benefit when you are looking for quality wilderness survival training. Survival skills is the first part to being prepared for the unexpected, but wilderness medicine and first aid is the second part that completes the preparedness training for the unexpected!!
