Finished up some atl-atl with the weekly homeschool group this week and got to see them fly. Amazing what an extra lever on your arm can do!

Been a real blast hanging out and teaching such an awesome group of kids.

Still some space available in this one time opportunity to learn to build domed bark shelters at Roots. June 15 to 27. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Barry Keegan is a wealth of knowledge and experience and one of the most giving teachers I`ve ever learned from.

Hope to see you there!
