Cadet Survival School
Cadet Survival School is a week-long intermediate level emergency survival course built to teach cadets how to make good decisions in time critical life threatening situations. The Cadet Survival School is based on the doctrine that survival requires more than just fieldcraft knowledge, and many situations that may threaten the survival of a modern American teen do not involve fieldcraft at all. Panic Kills. Inaction, or hasty poorly thought out action in an emergency, is a very real killer. Knowing what plants to eat will not help the person who never gets out of the burning plane. Fieldcraft is important, but not nearly as important as experience solving problems under physical and mental distress. For this reason, CSS must provide cadets multiple opportunities to experience and learn to overcome stress. This “stress training” is what sets CSS apart from almost all of its counterparts.
