Projects may vary each week, but campers will get to work on classic homesteading skills like cooking, natural dyes, sewing, garden cultivation and food preserving, and butter making. On Fridays, campers will saddle up and hit the forest trails for a horseback ride. Homemade, fresh, ice cream curned that day will await them in the garden afterwards!
