About This Activity
Barred OWLE is our day long Saturday program. Students spend each day, sharing responsibilities as a tribe and practicing skills that our ancestors once knew. Each week, the students are presented with a project such as how to build emergency shelters, carve tools from wood, collect pitch from conifers for glue, how to make a fire pit, build and maintain a fire. (Projects vary by season.) Each day at lunch, students are able to cook food over a fire they built together. OWLE is a student-centered program, with each child working at their own level. We have opportunities for students to work both as a group in games and projects and on individual goals. Spring Owle ends with an Overnight, which any participant from a previous season can attend.
