Join us in reliving the time when canoeing was the fastest way to travel, a shelter of bark and leaves was a welcomed home, and berries were the snack of the day. On this expedition we learn to combine the gifts of the land with the modern tools of today. The sun, the land, and our map and compass will guide us on our trip. Once we reach our wilderness camp, we will enjoy sleeping comfortably under the stars. We will study the ancient art of fire by friction, coal-burn wooden spoons, and learn how to cook on an open fire. When we are ready, we will begin our hike over the mountains and down to the river, opening up new opportunities for paddling, sewing moccasins, swimming, and the myriad of adventures that may cross our paths! As caretakers of the land, we work together, creating a true community. On this journey, we experience a way of life whose roots stretch back thousands of years, but whose skills and philosophy apply to all times.
