Survival, Skill Building, Community. These workshops are geared towards adult learning--helping you to find or strengthen the tools of survival and natural understanding.
​
Our Adult Workshops are meant to focus in on a particular skill and allow adults to learn together, providing the tools and education needed to stoke greater understanding of our local nature. These programs range from skill-driven workshops to multi-weekend survival programs, and our goal is to bring adults together to build community and understanding.
Adult Wilderness Survival Workshop
This program is a six hour intensive that we use to educate adults on the realities of survival basics and the best ways to ensure your safety in the event where you have to survive the night without many materials. Water collection, shelter building, firemaking, and more are covered in this great single-day event.

Adults of all ages and backgrounds are welcome, and 16-18 year olds are welcome with adult accompaniment.

Spoon Carving
Spoon carving combines a skill of creating your own tools with the patience and meditative practices of whittling and precision craftmaking. It's a great way to sit down, learn something, and have a fun and unique result to show for it. Join this workshop to meet people, hang out in the beauty of Marsh Sanctuary, and take home a spoon! Perfect for the incoming soup season.

Skill Workshop
Following Footprints
Winter is a season of relaxation and introspection--drawing into one's home and spending time with yourself and your family. In New York, however, the Winter is also a season of adventure, play, and perseverance. For the animals of this state, Winter is a time of survival--and there's infinite stories to tell.
Join us for a series of programs dedicated to learning how to locate, track, and better understand the animals and plants of the winter. Eric will guide you through the stories and skills of the Winter--and you'll leave with a trove of knowledge and an ability to connect with the state in any season.
Ideal for hunters, hikers, hobbyists, and photographers

Registration is non-refundable.
Packing List Before the start of the program, we send an email to all participants with the packing list and arrival instructions.
How we enjoy the cold The packing list will include what is the best material and clothing to have your child wear at camp to avoid feeling uncomfortable and cold. As long as these lists are followed, there won't be a problem with temperature regulation. We also often have campfires as part of our programming, especially in the winter season. Another tool our teachers use to keep kids warm is to do running around outdoor games when they notice the kids may start to get cold. This really pumps up the blood and helps keep kids warm!
