Organizing Your
Fire Craft Workshop
The Fire Craft Workshop can be as short as four hours or as long as a two days. Fire Craft may also be a component of a Multi-day Backcountry Adventure. As a backcountry adventure, the workshop becomes more experiential as we use fires for cooking and if necessary warmth.
Hosting and organizing a workshop is easy. If you are interested in a workshop for your group or organization, please visit our Hosting a Workshop page.
Since each workshop is individually designed for your organization or group, the rate for the workshop is based on various factors, which we discuss in the design process.
