The 2026 Open House is behind us and the school year is underway. If you are looking for a program now, there is no need to wait for August: After School, the Skills Studio, Homeschool, and the Weekend Apprenticeships all enroll through the year, and our Family Success team can walk you through fit, payment plans, and financial aid any weekday.
If you would rather come see it all in one evening, the 2027 Open House date gets set in early summer. Leave your email below and you will hear first.
What the Open House Is
One evening, every station free and guided. Kids try the skills while parents talk with Guides, current students, and the enrollment team.
🎯 Archery & Axe Throwing
Take aim with bows, arrows, and real axes. Guides coach every throw and provide the gear.
🐑 Baby Animals & Farm Craft
Say hello to the lambs and kid goats from the Wilders Ranch, and try cordage, carving, and wool work.
⚒️ Forge, Clay & Fire
Hot metal at the forge, clay on the wheel, and your first coal from a bow drill.
🎒 Programs & Enrollment
Guides, current Apprentices, Homeschool students, and the Family Success team, all in one place to answer questions.
