Folk School on Tap

Learning the Art: Wilderness Canoeing, Camping, and Cooking

March 7 | 6:30-8pm
Bad Habit Brewing, 25 College Ave N, St Joseph, MN 56374

With warmer weather around the corner, get ready for your summer adventure by grabbing a drink and joining us for an evening learning about the Avon Hills Folk School's new Wilderness Canoeing, Camping, and Cooking Series coming in 2026.

Using stories and insights from years of wilderness travel across North America, Zach will give a preview into the skills and mindset that make canoe camping and travel such a rewarding experience. This conversation will touch on moving by water, living comfortably in camp, and cooking over stoves and open fires. Bring questions for Zach and learn how you can get the most out of your next backcountry adventure!

This gathering is free and all about community connection, no registration is required. We gladly welcome non-perishable food donations, which will be delivered to the St. Joseph Community Food Shelf.

Want to dive deeper with Zach? Join him for Build Your Own Northwoods Paddle on March 7 or 8! Learn the craft, shape your own paddle, and take home a piece you’ll use for years. Check it out here.
