3 Day Camp: Coal Burning Wooden Cups and Containers and Wild Plant Teas (Sat.-Mon. April 11-13, 2026; Location: Camp Redbay near Warren, TX; Cost: $200 per person)
Description: In this camp, we will use campfire coals to craft wooden cups, containers, and spoons. Burning coals will be controlled using all natural materials found in nature. We will also cover many wild plant teas used for casual occasions, as well as some medicinal uses! Each student will need to bring basic camping gear, a chair, a water bottle, and a fixed blade knife. We provide water and one meal a day, so students must bring any other food/snacks/drinks (coolers are allowed) for themselves for the campout. Camp starts at 9:00AM on first day and ends at Noon on last day. See you there!
