SUMMARY:Canceled - Elsa Beskow Day Camp – Bringing Swedish Literature Alive
DESCRIPTION:Elsa Beskow was a Swedish children’s book author and illustrator who was often called the ‘Beatrix Potter’ of Scandinavia. She published forty books with her own text and images. \nBeskow frequently combined reality with elements from the fairy tale world. Children meet elves or goblins\, and farm animals talk with people. Central themes were the relationships between children and adults and children’s independent initiative. Her work “depicted a happy home atmosphere in the Swedish countryside of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.” \nIn the August camp\, campers listen to and do hands-on activities related to images and/or text in The Sun Egg (1932) and The Children of Hat Cottage (1930). \nEach day at Elsa Beskow Camp\, campers have opportunities to do fun\, hands-on learning at the Discovery Stations; have lunch and recess; and play pioneer games. \n  \nOther sessions and projects during the August Elsa Beskow Camp include: \n  \nWednesday \n– Identify common Minnesota birds and their eggs by shape and size. Create a mixed-media bird using collage and stamping. \n– Learn about sweet and bitter oranges\, and sample types of oranges available in Minnesota grocery stores. Dissect an orange to learn the different parts of this fruit. Make and sample orangeade – a beverage that combines freshly-squeezed orange juice and lemonade. \n– Take a nature walk to explore the restored prairie and wetlands at Gammelgården. See the bluebird houses along the bluebird trail. \n–  Using the sun’s power\, create a cyanotype printing using items found on the museum’s grounds \n– Learn about lizards in Minnesota and make a lizard lair to put in a garden at home. Create a colorful lizard from pipe cleaners. \n– See how children learned both in the Old Church/One-Room Schoolhouse and Immigrant House during the mid- to late-1800s. Discover similarities and differences between education in the 1800s to that of the 2000s. \n  \nThursday \n–See the many steps for creating clothes – from carding and spinning wool to weaving yarn on a loom and sewing fabric by hand. Learn to weave with yarn on a simple loom. \n– Explore different types of homes used by humans and wildlife. Discover what types of birds were born in and fledged from the bluebird houses on Gammelgården’s bluebird trail. Identify local birds and their habitats by making a diorama. \n – Learn about fire safety from a local fire department. See fire equipment and a fire truck up close. (An alternate fire safety activity will be done if the fire department is responding to a fire or other emergency.) \n– Discover how spiders weave their webs and how they find their prey by feel. Create a wax-resist painting of a spider web. \n– See a variety of shoes in Gammelgården’s collection including those made from birchbark\, wood\, leather\, and satin. Learn about the shoemaking process in the 1800s; and the difference between a shoemaker and a cobbler. Learn about shoe parts by deconstructing different types of shoes. \n– Explore the kitchen or cooking areas of the Pastor’s House and Peasant Cottage\, and see how cooking and baking were done without electricity\, running water\, an oven\, or a refrigerator. See recipes and sample food from the Housekeepers Cookbook\, a book in Gammelgården’s collection from 1894. \n  \n\nOffered: Wednesday and Thursday\, August 7-8\, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nAges: Children entering first grade through sixth grade.\nFee: $130 members/$145 non-members (all supplies included).\nRegister: Register for camp at Gammelgården’s EventBrite page.\nRegistration Deadline: July 17.

If rain is forecasted\, include a rain jacket. It’s important that children have appropriate clothing for outdoor activities and art projects\, and can change into dry clothes if needed.\nCamp starts at 9 a.m.\, so children should be dropped off 10-15 minutes before the scheduled start time.

SUMMARY:Fars Dag (Father's Day) in Sweden
DESCRIPTION:Fars Dag – or Father’s Day – is celebrated on the second Sunday in November in Sweden\, instead of in June. Father’s Day in Sweden was initially celebrated in June\, but then various commercial organizations wanted it moved in 1931\, so it wouldn’t compete with Mother’s Day (Mors dag) on the last Sunday of May.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Crocheting
DESCRIPTION:This beginning-level course is wonderful for those who want to learn how to crochet\, but need some guidance about how to start.  It also is a great class for those who have crocheted many years ago and need a little encouragement to get back into it. \nFirst\, you learn about the best hooks and yarn and then you work on a simple square pattern of single crochet stitches that you can be made into a dishcloth\, hot pad\, or cup cozy. Cara helps students troubleshoot any issues and learn to make those perfect edges. Once the basic stitch is understood\, students may move on to other stitches and projects. \nMaterials that are supplied:  \n\nCotton blend yarn\nCrochet hook\nStitch markers\nPrinted pattern\n\nAge Requirement:\n\nStudents ages 10 and older may attend this class. Ages 10-15 must register with another registered adult. \nRegistration:  \nSign up here:  https://tinyurl.com/crochetingatGG \nCancellation Policy: \nUp to 3 weeks before the event – 50% refund. Under 3 weeks before the event\, no refunds. \nAbout the Artist: \n​Hello! I’m Cara. I started my career as a features writer for newspapers and magazines\, but eventually realized I wanted to expand my work into my lifelong passion for crafting. I have always been inspired by my crafty and thrifty grandmother\, Mary Marie Mason\, who taught me how important it was to take time out to make something with your hands. Now I design patterns\, teach classes\, and sell my handmade items. \nIn my knitting and crochet classes\, my goal is to build confidence in beginners by starting with chunky knit projects you can finish in one class. Once you’ve mastered that project\, you can move on to smaller and smaller needles and yarn. I love the moments when it clicks for students. \nMore fun facts: I grew up in Kansas\, then lived in Des Moines\, IA\, Boulder\, CO\, and the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to Saint Paul\, MN with my husband\, Mike. We have two great kids\, Harper and Max.

SUMMARY:Fars Dag (Father's Day) in Sweden
DESCRIPTION:Fars Dag – or Father’s Day – is celebrated on the second Sunday in November in Sweden\, instead of in June. Father’s Day in Sweden was initially celebrated in June\, but then various commercial organizations wanted it moved in 1931\, so it wouldn’t compete with Mother’s Day (Mors dag) on the last Sunday of May.
