Camp Jane
Now, this looks like fun: a camp teaching preteen girls about life in the 1800s.
The girls sew a sampler, a reticule as well as make a bonnet and dolls all the while learning about life for a young girl in that time period.
The girls get to learn card games of the period and about gardening with herbs. All of them keep a journal, and there are daily tea parties.
The week ends with a tea party where the campers get to invite one guest to join them.
“This is the best camp I have been to,” Lauren said as she headed back inside the camp workroom.
We want to go to Camp Jane!

I want to go, too! I wonder if I could convince my Girl Scouts to organize something like this?

Sounds like finishing school; but if one learns about Jane; then Janeites line up to be ‘truly accomplished’. ;-0 But what about riddles and word games ?
