Our theme is pioneer homesteading, as in the books “Little House on the Prairie.” Each day will provide some structured learning activities, arts and crafts, and play time. Some of our favorite activities include sewing, playing school, churning butter, grinding grain, washing clothes on the washboard, making herbal medicines, creating shadow puppet plays and learning pioneer games.

GIRL SCOUTS: This camp is suitable for earning your “Playing the Past” badge!

See our blog post about the “letter writing” component of camp. After you register you will get a more detailed explanation of our schedule, policies and more. Camps remain on site at the Annex building and park-like grounds, are pre-pay only, and sack lunch must be provided each day for your child. Children age 6-10 are welcome at this camp. Eleven year olds may also register if they are really into the theme and motivated- they may be asked to help out a bit with the younger ones. Pre-registration is required to attend.
