Each workshop focuses on one or more wilderness skills—knots, navigation, shelters, fire-building, basketry, carving, plant identification, nature journaling and more—practical learning in a safe, supportive environment.

Map, compass, and Navigation 101: This workshop introduces the cardinal directions, basics of reading a map, using a compass to take a bearing, and more.

No prior experience needed. Come dressed to get dirty and for the weather.  Many activities will not be ideal for young children, but all ages are welcome with parental supervision and guidance.  Individual adults and teens are also welcome to join in the fun!
