Settler Survival Camp
Held in the heart of summer, Settler Survival Camp offers five days of early-settlement fun. Campers learn about historic travel methods, hearth cooking, woodworking, textiles, gardening, candle-dipping, and more. Designed for children ages 8 to 12, the camp builds an appreciation for the outdoors and our relationship with the natural world, as the Miami Valley comes to life through an early settler’s perspective.
