During this 2-hour class, Camp Master Chris Hyde will teach you how to create infused oils from local Central Texas herbs. Herbal oils and salves are a wonderful way to use the healing properties of herbs for topical skin conditions. We will infuse oils with herbs and then turn those oils into salves.
You will go home with a simple wound salve that you helped create as well as the wisdom and knowledge to make your own plant salves at home. You will also learn about local medicinal herbs as well as their medicinal uses.

Pine needle basketry offers both the beginner and expert basket maker an equal opportunity for satisfaction. With almost endless variations, sizes, and shapes that can be created using only thread and a bundle of needles, each camper is sure to leave with a beautiful and functional hand-stitched basket. This is a lengthy process. Your basket will look more like a coaster at first, but you’ll have all the skills needed to weave your own custom made baskets.

Oaks, elms, mesquites, mulberries and cottonwoods … how many trees can you identify? Even more important, how many are you able to use to enrich your day-to-day life? In addition to identifying these magnificent giants we will also discuss the useful properties of these life-giving beings. From tools and food to medicine and art we will explore all the Central Texas area has to offer us.

RSVP: https://app.buzzmillcoffee.com/shore-clean
The Buzz Mill Shore Corps along with Squatch Frontier Fitness and the Lumber Society are hosting their biggest Town Lake Shore Clean to date on Saturday, May 11, 8:45am to noon!
We’ll be attacking the trash from the shore and from the water with a dozen canoes at our disposal!
We’ll have 2-person canoes available for use to get on the water and grab all the trash that can’t be reached from the shore.
This is the work that most needs to be done, and it can be fun doing it.
We’d love to have you cleaning either on the land or the lake, but when you RSVP, please RSVP either “canoe” or “no canoe.”
Also, please take the River Sense quiz to register. We will provide tools and gloves (bring your own if you'd like) but bring a water bottle and wear work-appropriate clothing: long pants, long-sleeved shirt, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, bug spray.
Afterward we’ll head back to JNL Barbecue and Buzz Mill for lunch and a drink on us!
Thanks!
