Description

πŸ”₯ Wildcrafters: Create with Nature’s Gifts! 🌿

Answer the ancient call to create in Wildcrafters Camp, where art and nature come together in a week of hands-on wilderness crafting! Surrounded by the beauty of the forest, you’ll join a community of makers, learning age-old skills and connecting deeply to fire as we craft with the natural materials around us.

Each year is a new adventure, but some of the wild skills we may explore include:
🏺 Primitive Pottery – Shape and fire your own clay creations.
πŸ”₯ Flint Knapping – Craft stone tools like our ancestors did.
πŸ‘ Hand-Felted Wool Pouches – Transform raw wool into soft, functional art.
🌳 Tulip Poplar Bark Baskets – Make beautiful, sturdy baskets from tree bark.
πŸ”₯ Open Fire Cooking – Experiment with ancient techniques for preparing food over flames.
🌊 Woods & Creek Wandering – Explore the landscape and gather inspiration from nature.

With ever-changing projects based on wild resources and camper curiosity, no two Wildcrafters sessions are the same—but every journey is one of creativity, discovery, and adventure!

Are you ready to craft like the wild ones before us?
