Acorns!
1:00 pm

A spur of the moment extra course since the next two are sold out already:

Let's harvest, taste, and craft with acorns!  They are ripe just now and such a fantastic resource.  We'll have a ninety minute foraging walk around Cammo, harvesting acorns, mushrooms, ripe berries, aromatic seeds and greens, and then play, making little acorn fairy lights and table settings while enjoying a cup of hot acorn coffee and nibbling some acorn biscuits..
