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.

In conjunction with the Foundations Workshop and the Behaviour Workshop, this session explores cognitive processes—specifically how the brain thinks—and emphasizes the importance of developing these processes. By doing so, children can better understand their world, discern God’s will for them, and act in accordance with His will in faith and integrity.

In this workshop:

• Move from struggle to success.
• Explore student attitude and belief using the mediational method.
• Assess weaknesses and strengths.
• Support children struggling with focus, memory, confusion, processing, frustration, planning, and learning delays.
• Develop an actionable plan.
• Gain hope, moving from “I can’t” to “I can.”
