Archery, Spears, and Tomahawks-$99
Santa Fe Treehouse Camp, 46 Treehouse Rd, Santa Fe, NM, US#### Archery, Spears, and Tomahawks
Archery has a long history as useful skill for battle, hunting, and as an individual sport and is still very popular today.
Join this fun and engaging class with the Wilderness Institute to learn the basics of traditional target archery using recurved bows and have you hitting bullseyes in no time!
Extra time is available for you to also try your hand at other throwing sports. Hunting Spears and Javelins have an even longer history of use by our ancestors, and traditional Tomahawks are known by their use by mountain men during the fur trade and by native peoples. Both tools are easy to learn how to throw, and it is a fun activity.
Students will receive expert instruction and an archery manual with lots of practice time and a bit of fun competition! Light refreshments will be served.
This course is presented by the non-profit Wilderness Institute and takes place at the Santa Fe Tree House Camp & Wilderness Preserve.

Survival is an experience that combines personal attitude with knowledge and technical skills. Join us at The Wilderness Institute on this weekend overnight campout to learn important wilderness skills and strategies to keep you safe in emergency situations and natural hazards.
Using the outdoors as our classroom, you’ll utilize hands-on activities to learn such life-saving skills as building a shelter, matchless fire building and campfire cooking, finding and purifying water, making traps and snares, applying basic wilderness first aid, and signaling for rescue.
You’ll also learn how to make your own mini survival kit, enjoy some freeze dried snacks, and come away with the knowledge to thrive in the wilderness!
A basic camping and hiking equipment list will be provided. Tent, sleeping bag, and other gear are available to rent on-site, if needed.
