Description

Before the advent of the infomercial and the big box shopping store, the tools and materials that made life possible for humans were made by hand from the raw materials around them. Bushcraft represents that first hand connection, the crafting of life from nature. Join us for a weekend of camping and crafting in the northwoods where we'll be making bowls, baskets, bows and arrows, fishing gear, trapping tools, and more as well as a cozy backwoods camp with all the comforts of home (minus the internet). This course includes a Friday-Sunday overnight camping trip. Course Fee. Covers the ecological Wellness dimension.
