Saturdays, 9:00am-4:00pm, beginning September 1, we are excited to offer four new full-day workshops designed to reconnect you to the land and develop essential survival skills. These new daylong workshops build upon skills taught in our previous Wild Lands series and are also accessible for new students with experience and comfort being in the outdoors.
Advanced Camouflage, Stalking, Awareness
Basketry, Coppicing, Netting
Hunting, Fishing, Trapping
Primitive Butchering and Cooking

Students should be in good physical condition and be prepared to hike, get dirty, sweaty, and be outdoors regardless of weather. These classes are geared towards adults, but children 12 and up are welcome with a parent. These classes are being offered as stand-alone one-day workshops but as a group provide a well-rounded introduction into these skills. Discounted package for those signing up for the full four-class series.For those ready to test their wilderness skills, we are offering a Wilderness Skills Overnight Immersion October 20 and 21. It’s not often in this culture that we immerse ourselves in the woods for a full 24 hours or more – but we should! Getting away from modern structures and rhythms is essential for reconnecting ourselves to the land. Join us as we explore the woodlands of the Horn Farm Center and learn a host of primitive skills in the process. Click here for more information!
