Footwear For the Camp: Moccasin Making

Clothing & Jewelry

Jim Dahn

For a soft, kind-to-the-feet, long-lasting footwear experience, consider the leather moccasin as an option. Learn to sew by hand and make your own footwear choosing from a variety of traditional moccasin patterns. From the one-piece moccasin known as the Plains style to the Western-style moccasin that's made from up to three different pieces, a wide range of traditional Native footwear will be offered. Elk, deer, and buffalo hides will be available to you to choose from. Warm, flexible, and sturdy, this will be a great addition to your wardrobe, whether out on the trail or canoe trip, or around the home and yard.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
