Center for Pioneer Life - Week 3 summer camp

Join us for hands-on summer fun at the Center for Pioneer Life! Each week explores a different piece of Appalachian heritage—from quilting and farm life to storytelling traditions. Come for one session or two—every day is different! Summer camp is for rising 3rd to 7th-graders.

3 Weeks of Fun! 

Join us this July for six hands-on summer camp sessions, each inspired by a unique theme rooted in Appalachian heritage. Camp themes include Quilting, Appalachian Storytelling, and Farm Life, with two sessions dedicated to each topic.

  • Quilting: July 8 & 10

  • Appalachian Storytelling: July 15 & 17

  • Farm Life: July 22 & 24

  • ​All camps run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

Each session offers a new experience—come to one or explore them all!

Week 3: Farm Life

July 22 – Life on the Farm: What’s it really like to live on a farm? Campers will meet animals, explore traditional farm chores, and try their hand at some traditional skills that kept Appalachian families going.

July 24 – Shear Magic From sheep to shawl! Campers will learn about sheep shearing, feel raw wool, and learn how it would have been used and transformed into useful goods.
