April: Getting Off The Grid Weekend is a basic overview of what’s required to set up a comfortable camp on a piece of land without utility connections. This is mostly done thru discussion and observation of systems in place around Sanctuary Two, but will also include some practical work in site preparation. We will cover different types of shelter systems, water supply, sanitation, electrical power, ventilation and heating.
Class goes from 10 AM to 5 PM Saturday, 10 AM to 3 PM Sunday, and is limited to 7 people. Lunch is provided. Attendees may camp on site, or choose a motel or private home from the Accommodations list. Cost is $150.00. Send an Email to reserve your space.

May: Tent Living Weekend covers how to set up a campsite, pitch a tent, and live fairly comfortably, even in the winter. This is a hands-on course, including site preparation, drainage, water supply, sanitation, food storage, cooking, heating, and other improvements.

July: Browncoats weekend is dedicated to fans of the TV series Firefly. "Sign on as crew of Sanctuary Two for a journey to the planet Tomorrow. We have landed on this planet for emergency repairs, and may have to stay for several months. Explore the surrounding area on patrols, while avoiding the warring tribes that inhabit the planet. Help figure out how to survive until repairs can be made and we can once again return to the black.”
