Winter Wilderness Skills, with Nicholas WazeeGale

Let's go to the Winter Woods to learn, discover and celebrate this great season. In this adventurous day we will learn to recognize and follow the tracks of local wildlife, make warm fire, cook food, and set camps in cold conditions, basic safety and self care, sourcing safe water, procuring food (including winter plant and tree ID) and much on proper gear and clothing for winter comfort. This will be a completely on foot and off in the wilds class, so appropriate clothing and basic fitness is necessary. We will be climbing hills and crossing ravines in the snow!

Supporter Level Ticket: $115
If you move through the world with financial ease and the means to fulfill many of your wants as well as your needs – you are able to eat out when you want, abundantly meet your needs through employment or can comfortably not work, have access to family wealth, own property, etc. – consider paying at this level, which will help us ensure the long term sustainability of our programs while keeping our offerings accessible to those with access to fewer resources.

Sustainer Level Ticket: $90
If you are able to meet your needs with relative ease while budgeting your educational and entertainment spending – for instance, you are able to take classes and eat out occasionally as long as you are mindful – consider paying at this level, which will help sustain the work of the Folk School at a modest level.

Supported Level Ticket: $65
If you struggle to fund your basic needs and have limited access to resources in your family and community, or if you would not be able to access this offering without a discounted payment option, consider paying at this level. We value your presence and contributions to our community and do not want any economic circumstances to be a barrier to attendance!
