Looking for a fun, screen-free adventure for your kids this Thanksgiving break? Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park is hosting two exciting Homesteading camps for ages 5 through 10!

In Homestead Crafts 101, kids can discover how pioneers lived by building mini cabins, making gardens, and exploring hands-on homestead activities. Later in the day, Throwback Fun and Games offers old-school entertainment like kick the can and hobby horse crafting to show how much fun exists beyond the screen.
