WOOL!

Campers learn how to tend our flock of rare breed sheep and also take part in shearing.  After shearing, they wash, card and spin wool ~all by hand. Each child gains a true understanding of the painstaking work done by past generations.  Everyone is amazed by the amount of work that it took just to clothe oneself, much less an entire family. It is a serious, but really fun lesson in the value of work!
