This is a primitive skills gathering, an opportunity to learn skills while living as part of a small tribe. While called our “Family Camp”, this experience is open to all, families, single adults, couples, all are welcome. This six day overnight camp will bringing folks together to learn and share primitive skills and outdoor living. There will be classes offered each day, a morning and afternoon session. There will be a fluid nature to these classes, participants will be invited to attend as many as they like. Some skills will take several days to complete, while others will be a simple two hour project. Skills may include: knife skills and safety, basketry, cordage, firemaking, primitive weapons, containers, and more. Expect community wide games and evenings singing around the fire.

We will have offerings for children, however this is not childcare and parents will be responsible for their children for the duration of the camp. If there is another class that your child/children are interested in taking, please check with the instructor first to see if it is a good fit for them.
Breakfast and dinner will be provided, featuring much of the bounty produced on Fire Willow Farm or other local farmers. Meals will be hearty and simple. Bowl, spoon, and mug will be the only utensils needed. There will be dairy and gluten free options available. Please let us know if you are a vegetarian, if you have a more restricted diet you will need to provide your own food for breakfasts and dinners.
We will be living outside. There will be rustic composting toilets, a cold water outdoor shower. Much of this experience is to learn to live more simply, and disconnect from the clutter and distractions of the modern world.
