AdventureSmart, and its suite of five programs, is a national prevention program focused on reaching Canadians, and visitors to Canada, who participate in outdoor recreational activities.
AdventureSmart combines online and on-site awareness with targeted outreach in order to reduce the number and severity of Search and Rescue Incidents in Canada.
As part of our commitment to safety, Georgian Bay Search and Rescue is proud to partner with AdventureSmart to encourage participants to “Get informed and go outdoors.”
Hug-a-Tree and Survive is an AdventureSmart program for children in Grades K-6 that helps lost children survive in the woods. It teaches children how not to become lost in the woods, and what to do should they become lost.
Hug-A-Tree and Survive is a great program to bring into your family, classroom, guide or scout unit, youth group, or any other community group interested in teaching kids about being safe.

Statistics show that each year across Canada there are approximately 5,000 ground Search and Rescue incidents.
They involve all types of outdoor enthusiasts, from hikers and skiers to backcountry travellers and boaters.
AdventureSmart encourages you to have fun and play, but always be informed and prepared before you set out. Time spent gaining this extra knowledge and skills can help reverse the SAR incident trend.
