What we’re about
Join Ryan and Licia, owners of Firecraft Northwest, for walks, hikes, outings, and gatherings focused on naturalist lessons, nature awareness and connection, and survival and bushcraft skills. Together, we have more than 15 years of outdoor education experience including as Executive Directors, Program Directors and instructors. You can find our full bios and learn more about us on our website: https://www.firecraftnw.com/about-us
We hope those who join us learn more about the natural world, connect with others in their community, and get inspired to keep getting outside!
Participants will be asked to sign a waiver upon arrival and prior to class start. For all free classes, waiver language is as follows. For paid workshops (which are longer sessions and generally include tool usage, fire, cooking, and other activities, a more comprehensive waiver is required. Let us know if you'd like to view the waiver prior to class or registration).
LIABILITY & HAZARD WAIVER I am aware that outdoor programs led by Firecraft Northwest may occur near bodies of water, such as rivers, creeks, and lakes, and that those bodies present risks such as drowning and hypothermia. I am aware that the outdoors is a dynamic space that may include uneven terrain, hazards such as falling branches, downed logs, wildlife encounters and inclement weather (e.g. rain, sleet, snow, wind, wildfire smoke). I understand that there may be use of tools during the program such as knives, axes, lighters, cordage and other equipment that could potentially result in injury. I understand that participating in the sampling of demonstrational cooked and/or foraged items is at my own risk. I release Ryan Johnson, Licia Sahagun and Firecraft Northwest from any liability for injuries that might occur as a result of participating in these programs. I attest that I am in adequate physical health to participate in these programs safely, and that it is my responsibility to ensure I wear appropriate clothing for the weather. All participants are responsible for providing their own health and accident insurance.
