This camp has been a long time coming!  What a treat it was for us  to offer the first in a line of summer camps designed to reconnect us with our American heritage.

Kelli Arrington, a master artisan, lead the campers through a history of fiber techniques and hands-on classes that resulted in projects the campers could take home.

What a great mother-daughter experience!

Check out the pictures and plan to join us next year!
