FALL/winter 2025
Spotlight

Our fall schedule is light this year, as we have some family events planned - but we have plenty of classes scheduled for 2026!

And don’t forget about the remaining 2025 classes, Fall Wild Edibles at Sky Meadows State Park, Winter Tree ID, Blacksmithing, and the final Survival Hacks class for 2025.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions.

Hope to see you in a class soon - Tim MacWelch
