Activities for Kids
Thinking about bring your kids to the festival? Old Settler’s is a family-friendly celebration for all ages. Bring em along!
Children twelve and under get in free when accompanied by a paying adult. We’ve got lots of activities to keep children of all ages amused. Camp Fire USA will host hula hooping workshops, arts and crafts, and an Earth Day kids’ parade. More activities for the kiddos include face painting with Art for Your Head, a petting zoo, pony rides, storytelling, a talent competition, monster slide, and rock climbing. There’s also a playground and swings at Camp Ben McCulloch, and lots of beautiful nature to explore!
