 Most locals learn of our Unit activities at our Pack Clinic in February, but we have a variety of activites throughout the year. |
History day events in Arcata for elementary school children have been a tradition for a number of years. We have a number of educators in our Unit that have offered similar events for other groups like 4H, Boy Scouts, and the Humboldt Historical Society. |
"Bigger Kids" have learned from our members by taking classes at Humboldt State University. The time honored method of "Throwing a Diamond Hitch" on a pack mule is explained to the scholars, and the students have to demonstrate their abilties for a final exam. |
We have a few accomplished Dutch Oven Cooks, and are often willing to share their knowledge and goodies. |
We have sent four members to Wilderness Rider Training, a week long teaching clinic, where participants learn about minimum-impact stock camping techniques. The class graduates have committed to share their knowledge in our local community. |
If you are interested in scheduling a presentation, please contact our Education Committee Chairman, Pete Kriger. His email address is pkrigerjr@yahoo.com . Pete served as the BCHC State Education Committee Chairman in 2005. |
