This is a camp for teens (7th-grade fall/age 13 and up) who are familiar with Dakota City and want more hands-on experience in the buildings, being immersed in Village history and life in the early 1900s. Step back in time and continue learning a trade or skill, apprentice with a business, and have fun in 1900 Dakota City! Buildings for hands-on learning include the print shop, family home cooking, the millinery treadle sewing machine, and more.
The focus this year is immigration. Whether recently or long ago, everyone’s family immigrated from somewhere. We will explore where ancestors came from and what it was like to leave the “old country” behind and start a new life in rural Dakota County in 1900. Each day is different but builds on knowledge and activities from the previous day.
Teen campers will also learn about volunteering with Dakota City and can help with the Junior camps. Campers need to bring their own bag lunch and water bottle each day except Wednesday. On Wednesday we will cook an old-fashioned lunch on the wood-fired stove in the Harris house.
Applications must be received in our office by June 7 but space is limited so get yours in as soom as possible. See our website for registration and payment
