Have fun weaving your own handy and fashionable paracord survival bracelet! A ranger will guide you through the process and by the end of the program you'll have your own bracelet to take home.

One of the main reasons people wear paracord bracelets is their usefulness in emergency situations. When needed, the bracelet can be unraveled and the cord used for various purposes, such as securing gear, building a shelter, or assisting with certain first-aid tasks. The durable cord can also come in handy for everyday fixes, such as repairing a broken strap or serving as a temporary replacement for a shoelace.

The program will meet at the park office. Paracord bracelet supplies will be provided.
