SUMMER CAMPS

 

INDIAN SUMMER CAMP
Journey’s to the Past educator, Jacque Nunez presents a camp that celebrates culture, diversity, and California’s heritage.

Imagine journeying back in time when people lived in harmony with Mother Earth and learning about Native American cultures and lifestyles from early California. Children will learn to be the “Keepers of the Earth” through sound environmental practices and learn skills the California Indians used before the Spanish influx like weaving a basket, making an arrowhead, drilling a shell with a pump drill, pounding yucca for string and making a gourd bowl. During the Mission Era Juaneno Indians learned how to make adobe bricks, so campers will stomp mud and brand a piece of wood. The Gold Rush came and all of California was affected. Campers will pan for gold, shave like a miner and view the beauty of different Native Americans along this Western Ho movement. Our week will be complete with Native American dancers and fry bread. Join the fun and have a blast to the past with Miss Jacque.

When: June 23-27
Time: 9:00 – 1:00
