Join us for a unique, in-depth experience that connects livestock care with fiber education from pasture to product. This immersive, four-part series follows the journey of a sheep from birth to adulthood. Participants will explore the life cycle of a lamb, gaining a deeper understanding of its growth, care and the development of its fleece. We'll culminate by attending our shearing event that will include a live demonstration, allowing students to observe and learn what happens to the wool through the steps of processing. Each session combines hands-on activities with guided discussion, weaving together animal husbandry with the science and art of wool. Meets Sundays 4/26, 6/28, 8/30, 10/25, and Saturday 11/21.

Help care for the animals and learn how farmers select, train and groom them. Campers will practice these skills with chickens, calves and sheep.

This hands-on course will guide you through the steps of taking wool from shearing to spinning using a drop spindle.
