Vinterläger - Winter Camp
2024-01-13 - 2024-01-15 | Byrd’s Adventure Center, 7307 Cass Oark Road, Ozark, 72949, United States
It’s been said that the more you know, the less you need. To this end, we invite you to join us around the fire at the first Vinterläger.
Our “winter camp” is a three-day, two-night immersive wilderness experience: a setting to learn new skills, and sharpen old ones. As a small group, we’ll eat food professionally prepared over the fire, and ground ourselves in the winter landscape of the Ozark Mountains. We’ll take a deep dive into the fundamentals of wilderness self-sufficiency. We will get our hands dirty honing knife, saw, and axe techniques, build strong shelters, kindle fire from friction, and prepare food for the hearth. We’ll trade ideas, laugh a lot, and work with the land around us in a reciprocal manner. Spots are limited, so don’t delay to sign up.
What’s included:

3 days of wilderness skills training with different instructors: Pack Rat Bushcraft, Teal Bulthuis, and Matt & Pam Furches, senior instructors from Utah’s Boulder Outdoor Survival School.
Unique private walk-in camping area
3 high quality, professionally cooked meals from Chef Matt Cooper (1 breakfast, 2 dinners)
Limited Edition event swag
