Campers it’s time to hitch your mule to your wagon, cause we’re “Westward Bound”! It’s the 1800s and your family has heard of the new Homestead Act giving land to families moving to the west. Explorers will team up to compete in challenges and games to see if their “family” makes it across the west to their new home. Campers will be immersed in the west through hands-on activities such as a life-size operation game, lasso practice, and wagon-making.
Registration for Westward Bound is $120 per participant and will begin Thursday, April 6, 2023, at 9 a.m. Registration can be completed online at https://gmawestwardbound23.eventbrite.com.
Camp Wiregrass at ABAC's Georgia Museum of Agriculture consists of week-long sessions for children. Museum staff provides participants with hands-on learning opportunities in agriculture, history, and natural resources. Each camp is age specific and includes snacks and a t-shirt for participants.
