Step back in time and try your hand at some of the dirty jobs that kept our town alive and kicking. Fire up the forge and grab a hammer to see if you have what it takes to conquer the frontier. We’re laying the tracks of Farmers Branch history and it’s time to grab your work gloves and help out!
Camp activities include blacksmithing, calf roping with saw-horse bulls, exploring railroad track construction, making hand-cranked ice cream, and so much more.
