Description:

NEW CAMP! Students will relive the pioneer experience of the early 1800's in our classroom as we simulate historical events and activities in the journey on the Oregon Trail. This class is a Dungeons and Dragons-style role playing experience. Students won't even realize they're learning because they're having so much fun making decisions as a wagon team that can determine if they successfully make it to Oregon! At the end of the program, students should be taking home a first-person diary they created depicting the events they experienced during their simulation. Content will be the same each session.
