nature & survival series
nature + skills + community
In this apprenticeship style series, join Firecraft Northwest Instructors for a deep dive into nature awareness and survival skills. Our cohort meets once a month on Saturdays for four sessions— Feb-May in Spring and Sept-Dec in the Fall.
We cover a wide variety of subjects including survival basics, fire making, plant identification, bird identification, wildlife tracking, tool use, sensory/nature awareness, fireside cooking, and more.
Sessions utilize a blend of hands-on training, interactive activities, and detailed educational content. Every session the group will learn Naturalist Skills, Survival Skills, and practice and take home one Wild Craft. We visit a new location each date for this course.
“After just one firecraft session, my entire relationship with nature changed to one of symbiosis and deep gratitude.”
