Program Outline
This program provides a break from the age-old adage that “if you can’t tie knots, tie lots!” Knot tying is an incredibly useful skill for many outdoor pursuits, but it is easy for novices to become overwhelmed by the sheer number of different knots that can be tied. We have pared down the list of knots to those that are most useful in present-day applications, and after an introduction to basic knot tying terminology, students will learn to tie our knots by way of engaging games. We ensure that students have a solid foundation in the practice so that they may confidently and competently further their own learning upon completion of the program.
