Winter and Summer Courses

If you have ever questioned your ability to survive a wilderness emergency, these courses may be of interest to you. Seasonally oriented, they are designed to provide hands-on training in the skills of modern survival. Practicing skills in a natural environment builds an appreciation and understanding of Nature on its own terms. As far as possible, survival skills are integrated with environmental awareness so that one eventually becomes physically and mentally comfortable in the natural wilderness.

Well, looks like there is still 1 spot available on the July course and another course planned  for August 5-11, 2012

This is a gathering of people interested in the outdoors and would like to share a weekend with like minded people. We have outdoor educators as well as people interested in learning; come and share their knowledge. Everyone is welcome. This year's Rendezvous is August 24, 25 & 26, 2012.

We will be Blacksmithing, collecting rat root (Acorus calamis) and of course mushroom harvesting. Bring along a musical instrument.
