BLYN — At the end of a tunnel of trees, Tarzan awaits.
He’s a modern, Olympic Peninsula version of the jungle guy: Ben Sanford, founder of the Tribal Edge Primal Arts Training Center.
For years, Sanford has taught — and studied — wilderness survival skills, tracking and, of course, tree climbing.
He’s also dreamed of opening a learning center, a place where people of all ages can connect with nature, near his hometown of Sequim.
This Sunday, Sanford, 34, will realize that dream on his 5-acre property at the end of Corriea Road, behind the 7 Cedars Casino in Blyn.
The Tribal Edge grand opening celebration will run from 9 a.m. until dark on Sunday, and include activities such as bow-making and archery, free massages, a medicinal-plant workshop and demonstrations of CrossFit, an exercise program.
Visitors to the center will have the chance to learn how to build wilderness shelters, start campfires without matches and cook outdoors without a lot of heavy gear.
