In this class, students are introduced to different types of axes and how each is designed for specific tasks, such as chopping, splitting, or shaping wood. We focus on safe cutting practices, maintaining a clear work zone, and using controlled, purposeful swings that prioritise technique over strength. Emphasis is placed on treating the axe with respect and understanding it as a practical tool used for gathering firewood, building shelters, and completing other essential tasks in the wilderness. By learning proper technique and safety awareness, participants gain confidence and develop responsible skills for outdoor living in Alberta’s diverse and rugged landscapes.

Our ballroom dance workshops are a great place to have fun while learning the basics of ballroom dancing. You will not only learn the basics—like how to waltz, rumba, foxtrot, and jive—but instructors Mike and Michele Barter will also teach ballroom etiquette. These workshops have trained several generations of homeschoolers in the art of ballroom dance. Students and parents benefit from the training in social graces as well as the opportunity to spend time with other homeschoolers.

This is not a drop-off programme. Students not accompanied by an adult will not be able to participate.

Anyone under the age of 18 must have a registered parent or guardian present at the workshop or ball.

Open to non-WISDOM families; WISDOM families take precedence.
