The workshops usually have a short inside instructional portion before heading outside.  Evenings at a weekend workshop are filled with fun and camaraderie. The Friday night Ice Breaker sets the tone for the weekend – don’t miss it!! There may be activities such as campfires, “round robin” skill stations, fish and game tasting opportunities, BOW Olympics, outdoor clothing fashion shows, or special guest presentations. Participants are encouraged to enjoy the social side that comes with outdoor activities and to make connections with like-minded individuals they may be able to enjoy outdoor activities.  If you are taking any of the Fall shooting classes, you are required to have a firearms license or take the Friday morning firearm safety class, or have proof of having successfully completed the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (non-restricted).

The price for 2023 workshop is $300 for the all inclusive, shared accommodation, all meals, snacks and programming. We ensure that all participants enjoy a hands-on, safe, positive, fun and educational experience.
