Visit Anake Outdoor School
Why Should You Visit Anake Outdoor School???
Between our information packet, DVD and conversations with us by phone and e-mail, you will likely get a fairly good idea of your interest in Anake Outdoor School. However, there is really nothing like an in person visit to get a feel for this place, the people, and the class itself. Enrolling in the Anake program is a significant commitment of time and resources, and we are here to help you determine whether this course is the right match for you – something that we think you will feel in your gut as much as know in your head!
So, come spend a day with us! Sit around the fire in Malalo Ya Chui. Follow the tracks of a deer or coyote along the local rivers. Work with our students to make fire without matches or a lighter. Harvest wild edible plants from the local fields and forest. And, perhaps most importantly, meet the instructors and talk with our current students and apprentices about their experiences in the program!
So I have to pay $20??
Yes and no. There is a $20 registration fee that will be refunded to you upon completion of your scheduled visit day! You will be accompanied on your visit by a staff member, who's job is to answer your questions throughout the day so that the program instructors are able to focus on facilitating the course. The refundable registration fee is your energetic commitment to showing up for the visit that you schedule.
Visit Day Schedule
Depending on the specific day that you sign up for, you will meet at our office in Duvall at 8:15 or at one of our local field locations as early as 7:45. Class will last until 3:00. At which time you will be returned to the day's meeting location.
