HIDE + SCOUT
ScoutCraft. Archery. Hide TAnning.

April 3-6, 2026 | North Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC

This is a forest skills experience like no other.

Come to our quiet rural farm on the WSANEC Peninsula on Vancouver Island, BC.

Spend four days on the land. And get into your scout self.

We’ve got games. We’ve got night quests. We’ve got sneaking through the forest. We’ve got archery.

And as always, we’ve got hide tanning.

Tan a deer hide into buckskin + learn the traditional method of making natural leather cloth.

Join Jeni Ronald from Wilderness Awareness School to learn scoutcraft, the ancient art of subtle movement and camouflage.

Practice archery from Ryan Gauthier.

At night, we’ve got after-dark scout missions for the brave and a campfire for grounding on this land with respect + reflection for the animals whose hides we work, for the original + ongoing stewards of the land, and for our own skill-building journey.

Hide + Scout is for you if:

  • you want fun + games

  • you want skills that you can take home

  • you want an experience that you won’t forget
