Thursday May 10, Stikine Middle School eighth graders traveled by jet boat to Vank Island and spent the night. They received training in seashore survival classes while coping with the cold and wet conditions. They learned how to build a beach shelter in case they are ever caught out in the environment; how to find, cook and prepare edible foods; cold-water survival techniques, and what items are important to take along on an outing in Southeast Alaska. Teaching classes this year were Monty Buness, Winston Davies, Anne Luetkemeyer and Linda Buness.
