SUMMARY:Immersive Overnight Canoe Camping Trip

Once the guests have arrived at the site and stowed the canoes they will learn how to set their Native Fly or wedge tent which they will sleep in\, collect the correct wood\, start a fire using traditional methods of flint and steel (steels supplied by us & also available for students to purchase)\, cook traditional foods of the 1700’s such as stuffed clams\, bannock\, vegetables and or steaks over the coals. The meal will be followed by downtime stories\, history time and drumming.

Day two: Breakfast will be prepared followed by morning classes: Learning how to build traditional survival shelters used by trappers in the 1700’s\, tracking and understanding the animals\, and learning how to make and use a traditional fishing trap. Leaflets will be given to each student to take home with them. Lunch will be cooked in the traditional way prepared by one of the instructors. After lunch Students will have 1 ½ hours of personal downtime and then the entire group will canoe back to the launch site late afternoon.

SUMMARY:How to Tell a Story Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Everyone has a story to tell – what matters is how you tell it. In this four-part class\, students will focus on the basics of the personal narrative – a story told in first person that relates the story teller’s own experience. Students will develop a five-minute (750-word) story from start to finish through in-class exercises and take-home assignments. They will learn how to mine their memories for story ideas\, structure their thoughts for maximum effectiveness\, and find the details that will bring their stories to life. At the conclusion of the course\, students will be offered the opportunity to share their work in front of a live audience on a date to be determined by the class as a whole.

SUMMARY:Sharpening and Honing Blades
DESCRIPTION:Sharpening and honing of blades is a mystery to most people these days although our ancestors knew the skill intimately. Technology of honing has definitely improved over the past 100 years and there are many technologies to choose from. Howard will demystify the sharpening process and you will leave the workshop with the skills to sharpen your own blades. Students should bring one or two blades to hone for the class.
