Join us for a week-long, off-grid immersive log cabin building course in the heart of the Saskatchewan River Delta. This hands-on experience introduces the fundamentals of building a traditional log cabin, with a strong focus on the Norwegian Notch and off-grid construction techniques rooted in generations of land-based knowledge.

The course takes place entirely at our remote wilderness lodge, accessible only by boat. We’ll transport you by river along the Saskatchewan River to our home, where you’ll stay in cozy, rustic cabins and enjoy nourishing, home-cooked meals throughout the week.
