Homesteading for Kids

Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic series of books have inspired children and adults for generations.

The world is changing and learning local arts and crafts can also lead to new and old ways for the home and family.

During this week we explore different pioneer and homesteading skills: wild plants, gardening, candle or soap making, whittling (for older kids), teas and tinctures, and much more.

At the end of the week we make our own ice cream and have a down home fiddle party.

The Wilders Guild The Wilders are caretakers. They tend to the balance of their village. They listen to the land as they help abundance flow. They guide the needs of the people into harmony with the needs of the land.

Locations

This summer we offer drop-off and pick-up in north Oakland (near 580 and Highway 24)
