Child Survival - Lost in the Woods is a presentation originally published by the Search and Rescue Society of British Columbia and is based on the material "Lost in the Woods" by Coleen Politano.  A Lost in the Woods presentation includes 9 survival tips for children if they find themselves lost.  In addition, the presentation includes several experiments to demonstrate these survival tips.  Various items are recommended for a child's Emergency Survival Kit and each item's use is discussed and demonstrated.  A video shows the children how best to react if they are every unsure about where they area.

The program is an interactive one between instructors and children.  It usually lasts about 1 hour.  NASDA members give this program free of charge to elementary classes, boy and girl scout groups, church groups, and other children's organizations.  NASDA also has additional programs aimed at younger/pre-school children that deals with being lost and found.
