Hug-A-Tree Canada©

Welcome to the offical Hug-A-Tree and Survive Website!

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is proud to sponsor this wonderful program aimed at keeping kids safe in the woods.

Inspired in 1981 by the search for nine year old Jimmy Beveridge in southern California, this program was initiated by Ab Taylor to teach children how to survive in the woods if they ever become lost.

The program focuses on the most basic and vital survival principles and although specifically designed for children between the ages of 7 and 11, it can be effective with slightly younger and older children as well.
