This exciting new event invites grandmothers and granddaughters to explore pioneer life in the Midwest through the eyes of a young girl in the 1870s and 1880s. Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote the Little House books to preserve and pass on the stories of her family — and we’ll do the same with this event! We’ll read some of the stories and do some activities from the pioneer days including craft activities, games, making soap — and more! We’ll also engage grandmothers and granddaughters in sharing and recording stories from their own lives.

The Program Director for this event regularly performs a one-person impersonation of Laura and is an expert on Laura's life and the Pioneer days in the United States.

This event will bring the best of camp in 2008 — swimming, campfires, games, nature and craft activities, discussion, and sharing — together with a nostalgic look at growing up in Wisconsin in the pioneer days.
