Flint Knapping Club (Monthly)
Ages: This activity is not good for young children as it involves sharp natural glass that gets everywhere. Responsible students 3rd grade and older will be the most successful. Younger kids will need constant parent supervision for safety, but are welcome to attend as part of the family. All youth must take directions and safety seriously or they will be asked to sit out.
When: Usually the first Tuesday of every month.
From 6:30-7:30pm
Here are the fall dates:
August 6, September 3, October 8 (not the 1st Tuesday), November 5, December 4 (not the 1st Tuesday), spring dates TBD.
Cost: A free club to join! Register here through our shopping cart to join the club so we know to keep you up to date then you may choose to attend any of the monthly knappings. The materials and equipment are provided including safety equipment if you can not provide your own. Please recognize the rock material is free to pick up, but does cost a fair bit in fuel and time to acquire and the purchase and maintenance of our equipment does carry a cost. If you feel led to do so please make a donation at the time of the meeting (knapping) via check or cash. We are counting on your gifts to keep this club going and make it accessible to everyone.
At least one parent/guardian must be present with each youth under 18 years of age.
If the weather is good the knapping will happen outside, if it is poor it will be indoors, or in a tent.
Location: Glen's Gizmos Homeschool HUB
Adults may join without youth. Especially in this case please recognize Glen's Gizmos is a Christian organization. We don't require participants to be Christian to attend our events, however we do ask that your words and actions are positive and not contradicting basic Christian principles as outlined in the Bible. This includes but is not limited to religious practices, interaction with youth, being sober, no drugs/alcohol, appropriate dress and language (no swearing or vulgar/disrespectful content). Remember children will be present. If at anytime a Glen's Gizmos staff or official volunteers feel a participant poses a threat to others spiritual, emotional or physical safety they will be asked to leave, and must leave immediately.
After selecting the number of family members who are likely to attend knappings please leave the "Quantity" at 1 for one family.

FlashLove Volunteer Info Night (Aug 19)
Where: The Glen's Gizmos Homeschool HUB in Vancouver, WA.
Bring your family in to hear about FlashLove's ministry in Vancouver. Roxy and I have known the FlashLove Leadership and their hearts are in the right place. Volunteer opportunities with their teams are varied and fantastic for teens and adults. At times they also have opportunities for families and younger kids. Even if your family is younger you should come in to hear from the FlashLove team so you know what is available down the road. Volunteering with FlashLove can have positive long lasting impact on your family and our community. Teens will also develop some work ethic, receive training for projects and gain new skills.
There is no expectation that you will be volunteering if you choose to attend, so no pressure.
For the hour parents and teens are in the presentation, we will be running FREE classes for preschool through elementary school kids next door. SO, educational childcare will be provided on site by Roxanna and I.
Sign up and join us to learn more!
