A Combination Of Popular Summer ProgramsWe're changing our extended summer program in 2009 to take on more of a sustainability and simple outdoor living focus, and thre result is the Bushcraft And Sustainability Summer Program. It's comprised of five individual courses that can be taken individually or as a single, three-week course.
Component CoursesThe Earth Skills Summer Program is a combination of five summer courses: 7/6-7/8 - Shelter Building And Paddle Carving 7/9-7/12 - Canoe Poling And Fly Fishing Trip 7/13-7/17 - Sustainability And Homesteading 7/18-7/19 - Summer Survival Weekend Course 7/20-7/24 - Advanced Summer Survival And Bushcraft Daily lessons on the use of tools such as the axe, knife and saw, setting up a dry and safe camp, cooking over an open fire and building pot suspension rigs with which to do so, baking in the reflector oven and learning to safely and efficiently manage a group will take place after we make camp. In addition to the skills of canoeing and bushcraft, we'll spend a significant amount of time learning the wild plants of the waterway and their uses as we explore backwaters and the bush surrounding the river. Studies of mammals, tracks, birds, and the weather will round out the curriculum.
