I am just wondering if this is more an adult event/lecture or do you think it would be appropriate to bring some Webelos scouts to listen?

I'd really like to go to this, but an unavailable on the evening this is scheduled. Will there be handouts? If so, how can I access them?

We are unsure about whether there will be handouts - but feel free to contact Erin Helmrich for further information. She is our AADL staff member who will be working at the event. Her email is helmriche@aadl.org. Contact her after the event and she will help you with your questions!

Thanks for this event, I've always wondered what to do if a bear attacks and eats all of your food...

Is there a chance this could be repeated at a later date? I'd like to attend but am out of town that week.

If you'd like to see more of this programming or enough people request to have a second session, we'd certainly take note of it! We appreciate your feedback and enthusiasm for this program!

This is a great idea for a program - and there are so many kids' books about going camping with your family-- what a great combination!

I'd love to see another session scheduled. I have a regular commitment every other Wednesday, so I can't make this session.

Hope you can get the Dual Survival guys to stop by and talk about how to escape a black bear attack...

This is something I wouldn't have expected to see at the library - advice on camping and outdoor survival. Way to think outside the box AADL!
