Hug-A-Tree

The HUG-A-TREE and SURVIVE Program was started in San Diego, California after a search for a nine-year-old boy who died in the local mountains. A group of those searchers put together an assembly program for children on how not to get lost, how to stay comfortable if they do get lost, and how to be spotted and found. We hope your children never need this knowledge, but if you discuss this information with your children, it may help them remember one or more facts that will make the search short and successful.

Hug a tree once you know you are lost. One of the greatest fears a person of any age can have is of being alone. Hugging a tree or other stationary object and even talking to it calms the child down, and prevents panic. By staying in one place, the child is found far more quickly, and can't be injured in a fall.
