• Topics:
  • Grades 1-4: Farm Hand Adventure
    • Instructor: Deb Seip
    • Description: After learning how a farmstead was settled in the late 1700s, the students are taught the bread making process from yeast to rising dough. Each child kneads the dough, shapes it, and at the end of the day takes home a small loaf of freshly baked bread. They will also get to churn butter, process wheat and learn about PA Dutch folk art and make their own art piece to take home. This is an active, hands-on way to learn about important farm products like wheat and milk.
  • Grades 5-8: Basketry
    • Instructor: Rachel Kresge
    • Description: Learn about different types of traditional baskets and their uses. What types of materials did people use to make baskets? How were different baskets used around the farm? Then, create your own 6”x8”x5” gathering bast to take home!
• Cost: $25 (sign up for all 3 weeks and receive $5 off per day)
