A hands-on experience
In a series of 2 hr outdoor sessions this workshop explores the personal experiences of early 1600s settlers, arriving in Jamestown, Virginia on ships from England. Using a combination of teamwork, resource and skill cards, personal accounts, role play, costume, shelter building, traditional craft work, and the use of natural resources gathered on our woodland site, small teams work together on practical tasks and problem solving to survive the hardships in this early American settlement.
