Wild Skills Camp by David Alexander
We'll explore a variety of outdoor skills through a “learn by doing” approach that encourages participants to develop skills through applied practice with content in context. Setting up a bear bag, navigating with a compass, crafting bone tools and shell necklaces, flint and steel, stick bread, campfire cookery, and more of my favorite easily reproducible activities will be presented. Be like Brian from Gary Paulsen's novel Hatchet and master these skills or die in the woods!
Natural Dyes by Pat Heaney
Learn how to gather plants from your garden, yard, or waysides to make colorful dyes. We will prepare and cook with several different plants to make a rainbow of colors on wool yarn. You will leave with a sampler of dyed yarns.
School of Rocks: Geology for K-5 by Victoria E. Devlin McLoughlin
During this workshop, participants will engage in an interactive geology school lesson developed for K-5 with a human-sized, walk-thru dichotomous key. This lesson encourages kids to recognize that by using skills they already have: using their senses, asking questions, and making observations, they can learn to identify many common rocks.
Wood, Wind & Water: Easy Breezy Watercolor Exercises for Contemplating Nature by Susan Lewicki
Be introduced to watercolor as both an accessible art medium and a means to mindfulness. Using water from the site, guided reflection, and three classic exercises with a meditative spin, expression is in the process. No art experience required, just an open mind. All supplies provided.
