Bear Skills & Family Bear Skills Classes

A fast paced advanced skills class for teens and families

BEAR SKILLS & FAMILY BEAR SKILLS

Offered to ages 13- 17 & Families 7-70+ 

Pre-requisites: Fox Trail Adventure , Family Fox Trail or (similar class from another program) 

This advanced week long skills course hones and polishes the survival skills and craft work that were only introduced during the Fox Trail Adventure. These primitive living skills are works of art in the truest sense in both beauty and function. The people's lives depended on their knowledge and craftsmanship. These skills also function as a bridge into deeper teachings! We will cover advanced shelter building, flint knapping (the art of making stone tools), bowmaking, basketry, advanced fire techniques, brain-tanning buckskin, advanced stalking and movement, coal burned wooden bowls and utensils, primitive pottery, and advanced tracking techniques to name a few. It is our goal to increase the student's appreciation for the natural world and the beautiful and useful tools that can be created as caretakers of the land.  An opportunity to put into practice what you learn is provided.  The Family version is tailored to the ages attending!!  Families and Teens will be in separate learning groups.
