Atlatl/Spearthrower Course

Immerse yourself in a weekend of crafting. Discover how to make and use a prehistoric hunting technology, learning from three different experts. Be guided through the history and context of its use, learn to throw with an atlatl, and make your own to keep. Learn how to flintknap some points, and haft them with glue made with a recipe grounded in history. Carve your own atlatl and have a chance to refine it through hands on testing.

Stay on-site in one of our historic buildings for an additional fee.
