SANDPOINT — Local youth and teens ages 9-17 can now enroll in a six-week woodworking course through Kaniksu Land Trust's WildCrafting after-school nature education program.
The winter session of WildCrafting will guide students through a beginner-level series of classes on crafting a canoe paddle. The course includes instruction on proper hand tool use and care as students learn basic woodworking skills, land trust officials said.
Students can choose one of two identical sessions: Mondays 3-5 p.m., Feb. 19 to March 25, or Wednesdays 2-4 p.m., Feb. 21 to March 27.
The cost of the course is $100 and includes six weeks of instruction with all equipment and supplies included as well as snacks and water at each class. Each session is limited to 12 students.
WildCrafting is held at the Big Red Shed, located at the Pine Street Sled Hill property, 11735 W. Pine.
