Overnight Children’s Camps

Visiting Cousins & Family Kin Summer Camps

Registration Now Open – Book Now!

Five days. No screens. Total adventure.

Your kid will sleep in our newly renovated historic farmhouse, dress in 1800s costume, and jump into village life like never before. Think hands-on everything: baking bread in a wood-fired oven, working with a blacksmith, feeding farm animals, attending a one-room schoolhouse, and learning skills most adults have never tried.

This isn’t a history lesson – it’s an all-in adventure where kids actually do things from breakfast until the campfire songs at night. They’ll make friendships that last, gain confidence from mastering new skills, and come home with stories you won’t believe.

Two Programs by Age

Visiting Cousins (Ages 9-12)
Perfect introduction to immersive village life with age-appropriate skills and activities.

Family Kin (Ages 13-15)
Deeper dive into trades and skills with more responsibility and advanced learning. No prerequisite required – jump straight in!
