March 25–31, April 8–14 and July 4, 2024
Any time of the year is a good time to learn primitive skills—you know, the ones that can keep you alive and make your family think you’re cool at the same time. Gary Steele, Paws Up’s resident outdoorsman and a real-deal Montana mountain man, provides hands-on instruction around The Resort and at his self-built camp. He’ll show you and your family primitive survival techniques such as edible plant identification, fire making, knot tying, longbow archery, shelter building and tracking.
Designed to bring families together in an environment that fosters confidence, responsibility and self-esteem, the Gettin’ Primitive workshop is sure to ignite your children’s imagination.
Steele is also available on a fee basis for private demonstrations or lessons.
Because guest, staff and event-participant safety is always our top priority and since travel plans could change, adjustments to programming may occur. Contact Reservations at 866-991-1354 or reservations@pawsup.com for the most up-to-date details.
