Pioneer Camp
Pioneer Camps
Step back in time for a unique farm experience filled with fun and learning. We will start our day with chores, play time and lunch, and then have two hours of learning time which will focus on the theme of each pioneer camp. We will ride horses in each camp.
To get in the spirit of the camp please wear period clothes. Here are some ideas: leather shoes, long skirts, shawls and bonnets or scarves, button shirts ( no t-shirts) , if possible suspenders and hats ( no ballcaps). Please send lunch in baskets or wrapped in cloth. Drinks should be in a mason jar. We prefer no plastics or nylons at this camp :)

There is a lot to accomplish to make our new homes in Colorado. We will need to keep our farm animals healthy by feeding and watering them. We could make some applesauce over the campfire for lunch or churn some butter. We can enjoy period activities like making corn cob people, singing, dancing rounds and reels, and playing period games.

What was it like to go to school in the pioneer days of the mid-1800"s? Come find out. Before school starts we'll need to do our farm chores. Then we'll come running when the school bell rings. We'll sing, have a spelling bee, cipher on our slates, and of course penmanship. Recess is where we'll play period games, like marbles, cat's in the cradle, three-legged races, sack races and walk on stilts. After school we'll ride our horse home.
