Spring SESSION Focus

Spring is the time of birds, bows and ephemeral flowers. In this session we will focus on crafting handmade bows and arrows, foraging spring wild edibles and learning the birds as they return from the south. Spring is also about growing awareness. By opening our senses and learning to interpret what the land is telling us, we can reconnect to what it means to be part of the natural world.      

Our Basecamp and main teaching location will be at 4-H Acres 418 Lower Creek Rd Ithaca. Other locations for exploring and foraging TBD. A pre-camp email will give details of where we will meet and what to bring.

FALL SESSION Focus

Fall is all about celebrating abundance and preparing for winter. In this session we will focus on building shelters for our campout on November 9th and gathering and storing food for our final feast on December 14. We will learn fire skills including friction fire. 

Our Basecamp and main teaching location will be at 4-H Acres, 418 Lower Creek Rd Ithaca. Other locations for foraging to be announced. A pre-program email will give details of where we will meet and what to bring.
