A twice-monthly, family-friendly workshop covering a wide array of wilderness skills.

Come join us every other Sunday afternoon for an educational, affordable bushcraft clinic. We’ll cover a different wilderness skills topic every class – it may range across the spectrum from basics like firecraft and water procurement to projects such as tool and container carving. Every session will have a hands-on portion where you’ll have a chance to work on a project and build your skills, and free time where you can practice a skill of your choosing. You’ll be able to work with our wide range of woodland tools and resources, while being guided by our instructors to ensure that you learn these skills the right way, every time. The topics we cover will be announced on the registration page and social media at the beginning of the month. This is a family-friendly event and kids are always welcome. Bring a picnic lunch and come prepared to spend the afternoon!

9/20 - Sunday Afternoon Bushcraft: Spoon Carving

Have you ever looked through one of the old woodsman’s guides written by the likes of Dan Beard, Kephart, or Nessmuk, seen all of those hand-drawn illustrations of their cool bushcrafted kitchen gear, and thought to yourself how awesome it would be to make some of it yourself?

In this half-day course, you'll get the opportunity to make a spatula, spoon, bowl, cup, or whatever else you want to carve. Our handicrafts instructor Tactical Santa (aka Robert Gore) will be your guide, and he'll walk you through every step of making a truly special holiday gift, or an awesome kitchen utensil for yourself. You'll learn how to choose a carving block, rough it out with a hatchet or machete, use a coal to burn out the bowl, and make your spoon come alive. This course is a perennial favorite, and an awesome way to get kids acquainted with knife safety and woodcarving!
