We do this through connecting local and regional artists and makers as well as naturalists from many cultural backgrounds with members of our community. In 2024 we offered 42 experiences and classes and brought 38 instructors to campus, 24 of them new and a 300% increase over 2023. Of note was our inaugural Timber Framing for FLINTA, which brought those who do not identify as male to the folk school for a timber framing course taught by two women. Also exciting was our second year of welcoming April Ogimaakwe Stone, an Ojibwe basket weaver from the Bad River Tribe in northern Wisconsin to share her culture and craft. We increasingly draw from all over the United States, bringing folks from the Upper Midwest and coast to coast. 93869 0 14707 YOUTH PROGRAMMING: Avon Hills Folk School youth programming (under 18 years of age) offers classes and experiences involving traditional skills, crafts and art similar to, but adjusted for the young learners. In addition we provide experiences deeply rooted in and taking place in the natural environment for our young learners, including TimberNook and other nature-based programming. Children grow in their confidence and experience in: creativity, collaboration, physical, social-emotional, conflict resolution, self-regulation, executive functioning and moving within and experiencing the natural world, in community with other children, often of diverse backgrounds. 0 0 0 207372 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 17 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MN X X Chris Schellinger 3208448511 31335 Kalla Lake Rd PO Box 276 Avon MN 56310 Chris Schellinger Executive Director 40 0 X X 79296 0 0 Jordan Schellinger Secretary 25 0 X X 13725 0 0 Mark Conway Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Neil Franz Vice President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Greg Murray President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Mary Quinlivan Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 David Kroska Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Brad Konkler Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 93021 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 180050 0 180050 Youth and adult experiential education 611699 67197 67197 0 0 0 0 0 0 67197 4 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sales of program-related items 611699 2931 2931 0 0 0 0 0 0 2931 250182 70128 0 4 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 92220 47883 28478 15859 0 0 0 0 46752 46752 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10642 7283 2179 1180 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2142 0 2142 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53742 51102 630 2010 5736 5065 444 227 12855 6299 2750 3806 2981 2322 436 223 0 0 0 0 4976 4747 151 78 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1791 1408 231 152 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3241 3241 0 0 2950 2304 427 219 Program supplies, tools, equipment 26633 25787 61 785 Real Estate Taxes 3179 3179 0 0 269840 207372 37929 24539 43659 6136 0 6419 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 72651 6845 45693 65806 0 0 0 0 0 89352 78361 7137 9711 0 0 0 6091 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7137 15802 X 73215 56159 9000 6400 82215 62559 89352 78361 X -19658 0 0 0 0 2 X 0 0 0 X 47020 82535 48253 129681 180050 487539 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47020 82535 48253 129681 180050 487539 130395 357144 0 0 0 163 4 167 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 283 2931 3214 490920 163142 0.72750 0.7314 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Sales of program-related and promotional items RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 20809 667 20142 0 31076 2271 28805 0 8802 3907 4895 0 11964 0 11964 65806 Jordan Schellinger daughter of Executive Director 13725 employee compensation 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Chris Schellinger and Jordan Schellinger are father and daughter.
