Oregon Kids Training for Zombie Apocalypse
This week, kids from the Portland metro area are learning important survival skills.
Lucy Holscher: “What you do is there’s like four or five zombies, you’re in a group with your partner, your job is to keep your partner safe.”
But this is not an actual zombie apocalypse. It’s a survival skills camp run by the non-profit Trackers Earth. April Baer visited the camp, and survived to file this report.
Trackers is running several kinds of outdoor-themed camps this winter, with the intent of getting Oregon kids off the couches and outside.
Founder Tony Deis is hiking across a green space donated by Clackamas Parks and Rec.
Deis explains, the undead storyline was a natural. “Because, of course, the best place to escape the zombie apocalypse would be the wilderness.”……….
