Camp Lookinback is based on a three year rotating curriculum for a new experience each year. Each day consists of three hands-on activities. This year, activities include (subject to change):
A DAY IN THE LIFE: Go through a day in the life of a Texas Pioneer with a tour of the John Jay French Museum, learning how to punch tin for a pie safe, and learn all about growing rice from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension!
IN THE KITCHEN WITH SALLY: In the kitchen, you’ll learn how to make butter and biscuits just like Sally French did! Then, you’ll try your hand at making your own soap and learn about how bees and honey would have been used in the garden and for sweets!
THE TEXAS REVOLUTION: Visit a Texas Revolution traveling trunk show where you’ll fire a replica of the “come and take it” cannon! Then learn all about spies and silhouettes!
ON THE FRONTIER: Try your hand at being a frontiersman by playing frontier games, learning how to track animals, and making tools in the blacksmith shop!
