Building a castle together is just so much fun. We'll build walls and even a grass roof, a tower, a catapult to throw mud at invaders, a mudslide, and a strong gate. We use wood, mud, wire and rope, learn how to use real grown-up tools safely and effectively with Dan, our practical permaculture teacher. Dan is a landscape architect and permaculture designer who now teaches kids and adults to garden for food and biodiversity. His mission is to [re] connect people with nature through games, hands-on activities, design, informative walks and rides.

Age 8 to 18, younger kids are very welcome to join under parental supervision to play in the mud. Volunteer grown-up builders are also welcome. This activity is limited to 20 kid builders, or more under parent supervision.
