History Camp

History Camp is one of my favorite things at Valley Oaks. We get to spend a whole week at Pioneer Village learning about pioneer days.

We got to learn about branding, candle making, wool carding, jewelry making, tin punching, corn husk dolls, children's games, and school days.


I really liked candle making so that is what I picked to do on the last day. I made candles with my friends and showed kids how to do it. We cut the strings and tied them to our pole. Then we dipped and dipped and dipped them into the hot wax melting over the fire.

I like dressing up like a pioneer girl. I like learning about pioneer days.

I also like animals so my mom took me and my friends to see the little kid goats. They were so cute and we played with them.
