In efforts to get more people outdoors and enjoy what Minnesota has to offer, the DNR is offering help with basic outdoor skills and survival tips. Beginners can join the I Can! program and affordably learn an array of outdoor activities that will help them enjoy the outdoors to the fullest. For example, the program provides step-by-step instruction for camping, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing, and more.

KARE11 journalist Heidi Wigdahl reports in her story: "As we soar into the summer, the DNR wants as many Minnesotans as possible enjoying the outdoors." The I Can! camping program teaches how to build a campfire. And no, this does not mean how to light a match and throw it on some lighter fluid. The idea here is to make a fire from scratch. This skill is useful beyond camping and could save one's life in certain situations. More than 12,00 people have signed up for I Can! since 2012.
