Teach a Field Notes Class

Field Notes is our monthly community series — once a month we gather at Base Camp and someone from our community stands up to share something worth passing on. Classes are held the first Wednesday of every month at 6pm.

If you have a skill, art, craft, or subject you'd like to teach, tell us about it below. We provide the screen, an HDMI plug, and a microphone — you bring the story.
