Lamplighter Scholarship

Picture
Greetings friends and thanks for visiting the BTR website!  I'm the Lamplighter at BTR also known as Adam Brown.  For even if there is just a spark of interest in traditional skills, this scholarship I offer is here to fan the flames.  I've fanned the flames of interest for almost one individual each year at BTR excited about traditional ancestral skills, community and just straight up camping! I'm committed to scholarship one interested adult or attended by an adult youngster for the whole weeks' stay, including meals and classes (not including any additional class fees.)  You just have to find a way to get there!  For more information contact me at [email protected] and I'll e-mail you the simple application/questionnaire.  Hope to hear from you and see you at BTR!
