Hug-a-Tree and Survive is an AdventureSmart program that helps lost children survive in the woods. It teaches children how not to become lost in the woods, and what to do should they become lost.
Hug-A-Tree and Survive is a great program to bring into your family, classroom, guide or scout unit, youth group, or any other community group interested in teaching kids about being safe.
If a child should become lost in the woods, hugging a tree can help them stay safe, and be found. Staying near a tree offers some protection from the elements, and keeps lost children in the same place, which makes it easier for searchers to find them.
Hug-A-Tree and Survive emphasizes four key rules to keeping children safe:
- Tell an adult where you are going.
- If you are lost, “Hug-A-Tree” and stay put.
- Keep Warm and Dry
- Help searchers find you by answering their calls.
The Hug-a-Tree and Survive presentation is aimed at children aged 5–11.
