Are you involved in outdoor education? Perhaps you’re working at a forest school, wilderness or nature education program. Perhaps you’re a keen community member or parent who’d like to learn how to get wild outdoor skills. This exciting, hands-on weekend of skill development is brought to you by the staff of Fresh Air Learning and Soaring Eagle Nature School.

What you’ll learn:


  • Making cordage (rope and string) by hand
    Tying knots and other rope skills
    Building shelters
    Knife skills and basic carving
    Making fire with sticks (friction fire)
    Creating nature art
