Week in the Woods offers an opportunity for families and individuals to become intimate with the boreal forest of Interior Alaska and to build environmental stewardship through exploration in natural history, craft, and arts while living in the best of all classrooms – the woods.
Spend 6 days in the remote boreal forest outside of Fairbanks learning traditional hands-on crafts and exploring forest ecology with a host of talented instructors.
Practice carving, birch bark basket-making, outdoor skills, woodworking, natural history, and more while camping in the Alaskan wilderness.
During Week in the Woods, students of all ages explore old and new techniques from many cultures to create fun and useful creations from materials found in the forest. As part of this process participants will go on frequent guided excursions, learning to recognize the unique characteristics of forest types, flora and fauna of the boreal landscape, and the influences of history on forest dynamics.
We welcome families and individuals and also offer continuing education credits for educators through UAF.
Cost: Varies, Work Study Positions Available
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Only place to register for this class is on our website (link in the tickets section of this description) or by calling The Folk School's office. We will never ask you to pay class tuition/mandatory fees via Facebook or Venmo.
