Learn ancient skills needed for survival at two

Ridge. We will make fire by rubbing two pieces of wood
together, build a shelter to keep ourselves warm using only
natural materials, walk silently through the forest, cover
ourselves in mud to blend into our surroundings, and learn
the ancient art of flint knapping. Expect to form a deep
connection with nature and the group as we learn about
the American Indians who were here 2,000 years ago!

surrounded by the beauty of earthworks and ancient flint
quarries.
