Full details:
Children ages 6-8 and 9-12 discover that a tree has gone missing and the investigation is on.  Junior deputies study the tree’s origin from seed to sapling, soft wood vs. hardwood and discover clues from the stump left behind.  Campers will follow the progression of the tree to harvest and will participate in lumberjack contests and activities.  They will explore how the tree’s wood becomes furniture and will apprentice as woodworkers with a Master craftsman.  The investigation will turn up woodworking done by Harmony Society craftsmen in the 1800s.  Pre-registration and prepayment is required by July 24th.  Call (724) 266 - 4500, ext. 101.
