Private classes are now available
We
are now offering a limited number of private classes during weekdays (that's
Monday thru Friday, sorry not weekends). You pick your class,
together we will schedule the date, and then we run the class at our camp for
you as a One-on-One Private Class or as a Private Class for your
small group. Tim personally runs each Private Class at Earth Connection's
camp near Somerville, Virginia.
We're charging the same prices for private classes as charged for our
regularly scheduled classes. How can Tim do this? Because
he's crazy, that's why. Please support these classes so that the
madness can continue.One day classes available this season are $80 per
person, run from 9am to 4pm and include the following classes -
Including regular class structure and prep time from us.
Friction Fire Making
- Winter Wild Edible Plants - Tracks and Sign - Basketry -

Custom classes are available for a slight price increase of $20 per day extra

$200 per person, run from 9am on the first day to 4pm on the second day
and include the following classes - Including regular class
structure and prep time from us.

One-on-One Private
Class Scheduling
First - call or email for availability. To schedule a private class, we will contact each other
on a Thursday evening or any time Friday to plan for the following week.
We are only able to schedule one week ahead for One-on-One Private Class due to work schedules
and childcare on our end. We hope this causes no inconvenience to you.
If there is enough time for the mail to run between the day we set our class
date and the class itself, we will ask you to mail in an application form
which can be printed from our web site along with a check for full payment
of the class. If there isn't enough time to mail in the application and
payment, we ask that you email us the info from the application ( who you
are, where you live, phone #'s, etc.) bring the application form and payment
of cash with you to the class. We hope the cash payment is no trouble,
as we have occasionally had checks bounce. Directions and class info (
what to bring, what to expect, etc. ) are emailed or mailed to you upon
confirmation of a class date.

Small Group Scheduling
Private classes for TWO OR MORE PEOPLE can be scheduled on
short notice or in advance. Short notice works the same way as above,
scheduling on Thursday or Friday for the following week. Scheduling in
advance works similarly, where we both pull out our calendars and see which
dates are good for next month, next season, or whenever you choose.
Applications and payment should be sent by you after the date is agreed upon.
Directions and class info ( what to bring, what to expect, etc. ) are
emailed and/or mailed to you upon our receipt of applications and tuition.
