Pioneer Life-Skills and Craft Workshops Similar to the Demonstrations listed above. However, these workshops are designed to be a “hands-on” experience for each person. These are usually presented in a classroom or similar venue and each person usually walks away with a completed treasure. Workshops can be tailored to children or adults.
