Experience the life described in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s "Little House" books. Based in the 1840s Officers Quarters of Historic Fort Snelling, campers will sing the songs, play the games, and make the food and crafts that Wilder learned while growing up on the western frontier in the 19th century. Each camp will focus on specific books in the series and will include a food project, cooking, sewing, music, stories and games described in the books.
