Heritage Arts Campout (Fri. Dec. 10th - Sun. Dec. 12th). Click here to register. Max of 12 people — sign up now! Two nights under the stars making s'mores, playing guitar, and hanging out at Douthat State Park -- one of the 10 best parks in the United States (https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/douthat). Check-in Time: no earlier than Friday 4 PM. We'll eat, make s'mores, play guitar and hang out. Saturday: we'll go where the wind blows us -- hike, canoe on the lake, or explore. Mitch will be available to lead sessions for anyone who wants to work on skills -- Heritage Wildwood stuff (wild plant ID, bow drill fire making, arts & crafts, etc.), Heritage Self-Defense sessions, or Heritage Fitness Q & As. Sunday: We'll get up, have breakfast, do a spiritual circle-up and parting prayer , and be out by 11 AM. Totally free, donations accepted. Bring your own food, beverages, and gear. No gear? No problem! Just bring your food and a sleeping bag and we'll find a tent for you to borrow or an extra space if you're okay bunking up. We've got cooking gear covered. Stay only one night or just drive out and spend Saturday (but arrive by 9:00 AM or you might miss us).
Patio Potluck (Thur. Dec 16th). Open only to members of Heritage Self-Defense in Richmond VA. Sandwiches with vegetarian options and drinks will be provided. Bring a side dish to share, or just share your pretty face and mooch, it’s cool.
