2021 Permaculture Technology Jamboree: June 28th-July 9th, Wheaton Labs

Nicole, thank you for the quick response. That's great about the trailer and I am sure that an extra $80 is fair for my husband and daughter to camp. Is that total? or per? How do I pay for their stay.

Yes, I figured childproof was meant more for the littles. My son will be two months shy of 17 by the time the class begins. They both have grown up tent camping since they were infants, so they know how to take care of themselves in nature (for the most part). But, yes, please confirm that Paul is ok with a teenager in the midst. I appreciate the feedback. Im going to go ahead and purchase my ticket now and will await your response before I purchase his just in case.

Paul verified that your son can attend as long as you're around to keep an eye on him!

Hi Paul et. al., the border closure was just extended by another month, and it doesn't seem like it will open next month either. If the offer is still open to use my ticket for the 2022 event then I would like to officially accept so that you can maybe give my spot away to someone else.

Here is an updated schedule...

And the same schedule converted to an image!

Today Brad n I installed an air conditioner in the FP House to protect the house from the heat this week. Can't imagine a more productive start to the PTJ!
