Yesterday our learners traveled back in time for a hands-on Gold Rush experience. During this immersive trip to VT Ranch Camp & Conference Center, learners made their own butter, used a washtub to do laundry, made adobe bricks and candles, and, best of all, they panned for gold that they were able to take home!
