Message Aaron about your project
Carving camp welcomes first time beginners, creative dabblers, couples looking for an unforgettable date, bachelor parties, friends, families, team building groups, nature lovers, and intermediate carvers ready to strengthen their skills.
Aaron believes carving can be more than learning a new skill. The focused rhythm of shaping wood creates space to slow down, be present, work through challenges, and experience the confidence that comes from making something real. Helping clients discover that sense of calm, purpose, and renewal through carving is a central focus of every retreat.
Aaron guides participants through safety, saw control, basic shaping, blocking, detail work, texture, and finishing. The two day option provides the fullest experience and more time to complete multiple projects.
The one day experience is $600. The full two day camp is $1,100 plus a $30 gas and oil fee. Message Aaron directly to discuss available dates, deposit, and payment.
