Colorado Survival and Bushcraft Summer Camps
The warmth of the summer is upon us, the days are long, and we have plenty of time to play! Let us go to the mountains, to the streams, to the valleys and the trees.
Update:
We have not updated our 2017 classes as we are away for a number of months working on two projects: a construction one and a TV one (sorry but we cannot elaborate on them :)
But Don't be alarmed!

July Summer Camps
Native Cultural Art Camp July 5 - 8 2016
Artists through the ages have created art. Join us as we make beautiful art projects inspired by native cultures. Students explore traditional indigenous art forms from across the Americas as they create their own tools for their projects. Students make their own paint brushes, pigment paint, and cordage to build and paint a parfleche box or leather pouch, as well as hand sculpt stone buttons to personalize it. Students also learn from South American indigenous traditions of weaving or beading to create their own works of impressionist art.
