All Things Fire
Join us, September 21, for a one day exploration of "All Things Fire". Taught by Spencer "TwoDogs" Bolejack, he will lead a small group of adults and mature minors in using friction to generate embers and other lesser known techniques for sustaining a variety of fire types. It's a perfect opportunity to learn and practice a basic survival skill...fire.
Hide Tanning Workshop
In this class, we will turn raw deer hides into beautiful, soft, and versatile buckskin. You will learn a method called combo-tanning which involves aspects of both brain-tanning and bark-tanning. Buckskin is a great material for garments, bags, shoes, and more.
This class will be physically strenuous at times, but almost anyone can do it if committed enough. In the beginning, the process can also be stinky and gross, but any effort and discomfort is made worthwhile by the feeling of satisfaction when you hold your soft, finished buckskin.
Annual Overview:
Summers are devoted to youth camps, fall and spring are when we host tours, weekend workshops, school, scout and church groups. During winter we batten down the hatches for a closed campus. (Closed to all visitors December-March)
Please Note: The only way to visit us is by registering for one of our many programs that we offer. We would love to see you at Turtle Island.
