CLASS DESCRIPTION
This class is a 3 day intermediate level class and a continuation of our Level 1 Basic class. During this class, we will continue to build on the skills learned in the first class. We then introduce basic trapping, game processing, and camp kitchen basics. This class will have challenges and you have to pass them to continue on to the advanced class. We STRONGLY recommend taking the Level 1 class prior to this one as we will not reteach Level 1 material if someone opts not to come to Level 1. It does a disservice to the rest of the class. One child under the age of 18 is permitted per paying adult free of charge.
