 Elementary-age students in Bemidji are keeping their minds sharp over the summer by participating in the Build a Village Camp. Kids are creating a medieval village during the four-day event run by Apple Blossom Village. Their teachers are helping the day campers learn real-life skills such as sewing, woodworking and beekeeping. On Thursday, the children will showcase their new showcase, I should say, their new skills at Rail River Folk School for their parents and families. Kids are doing a lot more role-playing this year. They've taken on characters and they're developing their characters personalities and their skills and we've also got a lot of like imaginative creatures. The organization will also run a fairy tale and full camp with the Headwater School of Music next week.
