It all started when…
Our first camp in 2013 was a merry group of 6. Packing only what they could carry into the hills of our family farm in West Virginia, this group started a tradition. Friendly competition and learning skills outdoors together became an annual event. By 2017 we had increased the number to 22. As the years have gone on our camp has grown and changed — and now we’re taking it to the community.
Our 10th Annual Axe Camp is upon us, and will be hosted at Yellowood Farm in Canal Winchester, Ohio.
“Axe camp is a chance to test your grit and what you and your axe are capable of.”
— Don Argento (614 Magazine | December 2014)
OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY
The community is invited to enjoy educational workshops, learning methods for splitting logs and proper axe care and use. Demonstrations from local wood artists and timber sports athletes and mill operators will also be at the farm.
INVITE ONLY
In the evening 5pm sharp, an invite only event for our axe customers and past axe campers (limited space 16 guests only). Our usual Axe Camp events of log toss competition, tomahawk throwing tournament, mumbletypeg, and archery.
In years past campers have been tasked with creating a log bridge, building fireside log furniture, and repairing various farm structures. We will continue our tradition of a team challenge.
At the end of camp awards are given to those who gave outstanding efforts.
We will offer camping spaces to Yellowood Supply axe customers on Friday and Saturday night ($25/night).
