Home Design/Build

This course has been offered since 1980 and is the heart of our curriculum. It is appropriate for a range of individuals, from the person who wants to “do it all” to the person who simply wants to be informed enough to have meaningful and productive conversations with his or her architect and builder. Students will learn through hands-on construction projects, studio sessions, lectures, slide shows, house tours, and discussion. The Home Design/Build Course will provide individuals with the fundamental skills and resources necessary for creating their dream home – be it new construction or renovation. This course is also a good introduction for those interested in pursuing an architecture or building career. At the end of this intensive course, students typically leave with schematic floor plans, a scale model, and section and elevation drawings. They have gained a new awareness of design, materials, and the process of realizing a home that reflects their values and lifestyle.

Design/Build for Public Spaces

You will engage in the hands-on process of designing and building a full-scale community project alongside a nonprofit partner or local community member. Class kicks off with a client meeting where students address a structural need. From there, the team will work within a budget, propose and develop a design, schedule the work, and ultimately build the structure throughout the duration of this two-week class.
A flagship Yestermorrow course that has yielded whimsical structures like the infamous Snail bus stop structure, a mobile farm stand for Shelburne Farms, and a trail shelter for the Mad River Path and more. Students are given the creative freedom to design a project that meets the unique needs of their client. As a result, this course often produces unique and whimsical structures – a building style that Yestermorrow is known for.
This year, we will be building a structure for the new Warren Dog Park. Make your mark on the community, and provide shelter for your neighbors for years to come.

Volunteer Mountain Work Day
2023-09-23 09:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
Volunteer Mountain Work Days will once again utilize pre-registration and limit the total group size. Space is extremely limited, don’t wait, register online by clicking this link.
Registration/Contact information will ensure that we can communicate with participants in the event that covid precautions may be needed or in case severe weather is likely (this will reduce the risk of needing to take shelter in on-mountain facilities where social distancing is unable to be maintained). Events will be confirmed by 6:00 pm the day prior via the contact email provided. A wait list will be maintained with open slots filled by 6:00 pm the day prior.
Any minors that register must be at least 12 years of age, accompanied by their legal guardian/parent throughout the day, no dogs are allowed.

General information: The purpose of Volunteer Mountain Work Days is the maintenance of MRG’s legendary tree skiing and regeneration zones in our mountain forest. This involves cutting lines as well as setting aside areas for new trees to grow. Everything is done with hand tools. Work days are organized and led by Lars Bruns in consultation with ski area management. Volunteer Mountain Work Days are a great chance to get out on the mountain, care for your favorite terrain, and learn about how northeastern mountain forests grow. It is hard work, but also fun and satisfying to see a ski line take shape, and how trees will grow in response to care.
We welcome both experienced veterans and newcomers to the mountain work days. Each person who works a full day receives a complimentary day pass voucher for each day she or he works.
Registration Required – Summer/Fall 2023 Schedule (all Saturdays)

Logistics

Report at 9:00 am at the Cricket Club picnic table. We’re back down at 3:30 – 4:00 pm.
Most of the time we hike from the base, so be prepared to hike.
Only in cases of highly probable severe weather will a work day be canceled (registered participants will be notified via email by 6:00 pm the night prior). Working in the rain is fun!
Bring work gloves, hiking boots, drinks & lunch.
Loppers are the most useful tool to bring. Make sure they are in good working order.
Work days navigate our gnarly terrain; no dogs or kids under 12 please. Minors under the age of 18 must register and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

The incidence of Lyme Disease is increasing rapidly in Vermont. This disease is debilitating and hard to get rid of. More Info on how to protect yourself while thrashing around the woods of Stark Mountain.
The following tools are not allowed: All power tools such as chain saws, and swinging tools such as hatchets or axes.
Outfitting for Rain Events:

Outer layer – The primary function is to hold in heat, as well as keep water out for as long as possible.

Goretex shell or other rainwear
Waterproof pant shell – old ski pants work well
Waterproof gaiters (Goretex)
Waterproof boots beforehand
Brimmed synthetic hat and fleece hat
If the weather is warm, then staying warm is not a problem. Fast-drying shorts, gaiters, and a rain shell may be sufficient.

Inner layers – No cotton – must keep one warm when wet.

Wool or synthetic shirt and long underwear
Fleece
Wool socks
Thin windbreaker underneath the shell to hold even more heat in

Other Tips

Put dry (synthetic) clothing in a garbage bag
Bring a second synthetic inner layer shirt (in the garbage bag) to change into at lunch
Put first aid kit in a waterproof bag
A thermos of hot tea or soup. Caffeine constricts capillaries and should be avoided
Bring backup gloves. Cold hands will not warm up in wet gloves
