04 June – GARDEN SOIL IMPROVEMENT
Looking for ways to grow more of your own food? Gardening enthusiast Josie Donahue will talk about two easy, inexpensive methods of making your garden soil more productive: Bio-char will improve any soil, and using Hugelkulture in your raised beds improves water retention and fertilizes the soil – total game changers with our drier Summers.
We will start the afternoon with a class in the grange and community center, then carpool/ride share to instructor Josie’s nearby raised bed garden to see how all this works.
Class runs from 1-3 P.M., and costs $5 per person.
06 June – COMMITTEE MEETING
Committee members and interested community stakeholders will assemble at 6 P.M. to discuss current and possible events at Camden Grange and Community Center. Everyone is welcome.
08 June – BEAN BURGERS, PLEASE!
Suffering from red meat sticker shock? Learn how to make and cook awesome-tasting, flavorful veggie burgers. This is a kid-friendly cooking class (must be 12 years old or older), so feel free to bring and supervise your favorite youngster(s), who may attend for free.
Class runs from 7-9 P.M., and costs $10 per person – your fee includes a take home sample!
11 June – MACRAME PLANT HANGER WORKSHOP
Learn how to make a beautiful macramé plant hanger, yourself. Instructor Cody Francis will show you how to work various macramé knots, how to form a secure basket for your plant pot, and how to embellish your macramé project. All materials for the workshop are provided. Class runs from 1-3 P.M., and costs $10 per person (children under 16 years of age are free to attend, and will be working with their adults on the same plant hanger).
Workshop is limited to six students, so enroll early!
15 June – PRESSURE CANNING, PART 2
A continuation from our pressure canning class, part 1, last month. Learn how to pressure can various meats, for a number of good reasons: save money (have you noticed the price of red meat cuts in the grocery stores?!), convenience (no more last minute thawing), and emergencies (no electricity for ten days? No problem!). Once you know the safety rules of pressure canning, you CAN preserve corn, green beans, fish, soups, and more.
Class runs from 7-9 P.M., and costs $15 per person, due to the high costs of ingredients. Students are asked to bring their own clean pint canning jar, ring, and lid, as they will be taking home a delicious sample!
18 June – HERITAGE DAY AT CAMDEN GRANGE
Join us for a display of vintage photographs of historic Elk and Camden, collected and curated by “Elk Sentinel” editor Andrea Culp. We will also have a “touch and teach” exhibit featuring objects used in everyday life by our local pioneering families. Children are especially invited to help churn butter, spin wool, make quilt squares, and much more. The Heritage Day exhibit runs from noon to 4 P.M., and is free to everyone.
22 June – PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM WILDFIRE
Join instructor Randy Ledesma for an in-depth discussion on how to safeguard your home from wildfires. Randy will talk about how to keep flying embers (the number one cause of structure fires downwind from wildfires) from destroying your home. There will be a demonstration of fire fighting equipment, and the use of environmentally-friendly chemicals (fire suppressants and retardants).
Class runs from 7-9 P.M., and costs $5 per person.
25 June – HANDGUN SAFETY AND INTRODUCTION
This class was a big hit back in November 2021, so here is another chance to attend and learn: basic firearms safety rules, how to keep children safe around firearms, secure gun storage, state and federal firearms laws, and much more.
This is an ideal class for families and homeschoolers, and costs only $15 per person, with a $10 deposit when you sign up at instructor Russ Spriggs’ website: www.Pistolprof.com
Class runs from noon – 4 P.M., and is limited to students 12 years old and older.
29 June – HOMEMADE ICE CREAM
Learn the basics of how to make your own rich, creamy ice cream at home, using an award-winning recipe from the late 1800’s – the simplicity of the recipe makes a delicious treat. Ice cream enthusiast Mollie Ford will show you the classic method for making ice cream, and offer additional tips and techniques to customize your homemade frozen desserts – in-class samples, oh yeah!. Just in time for the July 4 family gathering!
Class runs from 7-9 P.M., and costs $5 per person.
