Classes
Our focus is top quality instruction in ancestral and heritage primitive skills such as matchless fire making, foraging for wild edible and medicinal plants, stone tool creation and use, basket making, wood working and more.
Offering classes is a big part of what we do! We teach skills! Dozens of classes are offered daily. Class sign-up sheets for each day are posted in the afternoon of the day before. We have two class periods each day - AM and PM. AM classes start around 10am and PM classes around 2pm.
