Rigby–The Fort Henry Buckskinners hosted their first-ever homeschool day yesterday as part of their 34th Annual Junior Rendezvous at Krupp Scout Hollow. Around seventy-five homeschoolers attended, learning first-hand what life was like for the mountain men. Re-enactors demonstrated period weapons; taught skills like fire-starting, metal work, and trapping; and discussed native culture.
Event organizer Major Andrew Henry (known as Reef Brague when he is not bringing history to life) explained that in contrast to a normal rendezvous, the goal of the Junior Rendezvous is to provide an educational experience for children. They hope to make the Homeschool Day an annual feature of the Rendezvous.
