• Topics:
  • Grades 1-4: Winter Food & Traditions
    • Instructor: Tara Burnley
    • Description: Learn about food preservation, simple Campers will discover how farm families prepared food and celebrated traditions during the winter months long ago. As a group, campers will learn where winter foods came from and how simple ingredients and tools were used to make warm meals and treats. Through hands-on, age-appropriate activities, students will take part in food preparation, observe cooking techniques, and explore winter customs and traditions. Stories and discussion will help campers understand how food, family, and tradition brought comfort during the cold winter season.
  • Grades 5-8: Weave Your Own Stool
    • Instructor: Rachel Kresge
    • Description: Older campers will step back in time to experience a traditional 19th-century farm craft: stool seat weaving. Each student will weave their own stool to take home, learning the techniques and skills used by farm families to create durable, functional household items during the long winter months. This hands-on activity encourages focus, creativity, and an appreciation for the craftsmanship of the past.
