Time to to Work on Those Day Camps!

In the summer, I am so busy with Alpaca and Nature Day-Camps that we conduct here on the farm.  They have been very popular and have many repeat campers.  The campers learn all about alpacas and how to train them, how to spin their fiber on a spinningwheel, weaving, sometimes knitting, and fiber education.  Each camper has a note book full of information to take home with them at the end of camp.
Because so many campers come to numerous sessions, I have to have every session fresh with new material for them to learn.  That is what I am working on right now for this summer.  I am getting ready to make up some sample projects.  I absolutelly love the day camps and they bring a nice summer income to the farm.
