The Experience

Experience an older slower form of lifestyle, rooted in the pioneer experience, Viking heritage, and the traditional ways of New Brunswick. Try pumping water by hand, foraging plants, and mushrooms, build a yurt, experience life in a solar off grid homestead without light disturbance, pollution, or urban noise. Design some art projects on the land or create a project using hand tools. Live in the old ways, & some of the new, in a Viking longhall.

This was my first work away experience so the community will always have a special place in my heart! I got to explore New Brunswick through hikes and tours! The work was great. It's amazing watching everything come together in the final days. Braydon is a gracious host and an excellent cook! If you're looking for an off grid experience, this is definitely for you! This experience has helped me connect more with nature and the environment. Much needed! Thanks again!
