NATURE CONNECTIONS: Primitive Technology

NATURE CONNECTIONS: Primitive Technology

Join us for a fun afternoon of hands-on primitive skills technology: using only natural materials found in the wild to produce hand-made essential elements of survival. This Nature Connections will focus on manipulating natural objects with traditional skills to provide an understanding of the origin of modern technologies while also deepening your connection to the earth.

This event will feature several stations that will include hands on activities the whole family will enjoy.
