With Elaine Schumacher

August 3rd - August 7th
Rising Grades 2nd - 8th

Camp Time:
8:30am - 3:00pm

Step back in time and live like a pioneer at Pioneer Camp! Campers will immerse themselves in the lives of early settlers through hands-on activities like basket weaving, sewing, and embroidery. Along the way, they’ll enjoy cooking traditional recipes, listening to stories, singing songs, and learning folk dances. The week culminates in a joyful park celebration with games, handmade ice cream, and a family folk dance that’s sure to delight everyone.

This beloved camp is led by Elaine Schumacher, a longtime Cedarwood parent and community leader. Elaine brings years of experience as a Practical Arts assistant and camp leader, along with a passion for storytelling and traditional crafts. Her warm and engaging teaching style makes Pioneer Camp an unforgettable experience for every child. Join us for a week of creativity, community, and pioneer spirit!
