For maximum involvement and enjoyment, please consider the
following points for your child.
- Comfortable, warm clothing - enough for two full
days. Flat shoes or boots, a sweater, durable jeans, extra
socks and underwear, etc.
- Part of the Program involves performing chores; please do not
pack "Sunday Best" clothing, because it will get
soiled.
- Modernism's such as make-up and most costume jewelry
(earrings, nail polish, necklaces, etc.) is inappropriate and should
be left at home. Participants will be asked to remove anything,
which conflicts with the Program's goal of immersion in a Living
History environment.
- Sleeping Bag (pillow optional).
- Toothbrush and paste.
-
We are required to bring our own utensils which should consist
of:
- One pie plate or similar dish made of tin, aluminum, or
enamel;

possible. If not, an unbreakable mug is advisable.

will provide refreshments.
