Every second Tuesday of the month, Moonflower Co-op donates 5% of the day’s proceeds to an organization doing important work in our community.
Join us on Tuesday, June 14th to support the Boulder Outdoor Survival School in Boulder, Utah!
The Boulder Outdoor Survival School is a non-profit outdoor survival school in Boulder, Utah that began in 1968. BOSS is dedicated to the instruction and preservation of traditional living skills and the development of people through experiences within the natural world.
BOSS offers 7-, 14-, and 28-day field courses that are simulated survival expeditions, as well as skill-specific courses like Wilderness First Responder, Hunter/Gatherer, and Navigation. These courses “get you disconnected from the screen(s) and reconnected to being a human.” While a BOSS course is not the only way to do this, these field courses are unique because they are simulated survival experiences that explicitly challenge the participant’s spirit/mind/body in ways other outdoor courses often avoid. Students typically gain a deeper understanding of self and group reliance and what matters most in life, as well as insight, growth, renewal, and discovery through their interactions with the land and their fellow expedition-mates.
A blurb from BOSS:
“If you have ever felt like you were ill-prepared and/or curious how you would fare in a survival situation, a BOSS field course might be for you. Taking a course with the Boulder Outdoor Survival School will provide you with unique skills that are applicable in any outdoor context and everyday life. It is more than just challenging yourself. It is about discovering insights into who you are through pushing yourself further than you would on your own. The knowledge of the past and how to work with what the Land offers is as applicable today as it has ever been. We hope to take ya out on the trail with not much more than the clothes on your back, a knife, and a water bottle.”
