Bushcraft by definition, is the knowledge to live comfortably in the wilderness. By that description, a Bushcrafter would be a person perfectly capable of living indefinitely, in any given environment. Fire, shelter, and tools to acquire the needs of the human body would be easily constructed by such an individual.

The “Bushcrafter” Program, is a week (7 Days) long test of the skills, and mental stamina of the student. Taking the skills taught on the Basic and Advanced Programs, the student will be placed within the setting of a Northern Ontario forest.

The “Bushcrafter” course will cover many skills that are needed for comfortable living in the wilds; from fire and sheltercraft, all the way to artisan skills such as basketry and flintknapping. As well, unlike our shorter courses “Bushcrafter” will allow the student one entire week to practice the skills in a genuine wilderness setting. This helps the student master the skills, under expert guidance, until they become instinctive. This is a fantastic experience, that can allow the student a chance to push past their pre-conceived limits, and realize how truly limitless their skills and abilities are.

Program Topics:  Skills covered during this course may include all or part of the above. However the instructor reserves the right to include or omit any skills, written or otherwise, depending on the availability of materials, insufficient class time, adverse weather conditions or class interest.

Methods of Payment: We accept checks, money orders, bank drafts and cash (in person only).

Deposits:
The entire deposit is applied towards program fees. All programs have a 50% deposit upon registration with the remainder to be paid upon arrival. Remaining program fee must be PAID IN FULL upon arrival.  Deposits are non-refundable except when courses are cancelled, in which case we'll refund your deposit or credit it to a future program date.

Cancellation and Refund Policy: With cancellations more than 60 days in advance of the course or trip, the tuition, less the deposit, will be refunded. With cancellations less than 60 days prior to the start of the course all monies are non-refundable and non-transferable. These policies reflect the fact that we do not overbook, cancelled spaces are very difficult to fill at the last minute, and that the vast majority of costs are incurred in preparing for a course/trip.

Minimum Enrollment: If a minimum enrollment (usually 3) is not met by the application deadline, those signed up have two options. The program can be run with below minimum enrollment, but with an increase in tuition (to meet the minimum enrollment level), the program may be cancelled and the full tuition (including the deposit) will be refunded or the monies can be credited to a future program date.

Liability Release: Before the start of each course or trip all participants are required to have signed both a release form and risk acknowledgement form.

Privacy Policy: We don't sell, rent, lease, lend, loan, trade, or make public your name or contact information. Ever.
