Kid's Quarters gives 7-11 year olds the chance to perform hands-on work of the 1840's soldier, craftsman, laborer, cook, trapper, and trader. 
 

Kid's Quarters
Kid's Quarters is full as of June 1, 2011

The event provides seven to eleven year old children the chance to "step back in time" and learn skills of the 1800's. Children are split into groups of trappers, traders, laborers, blacksmiths and carpenters, Indians, and soldiers. Adult living history historians guide the children through normal life and work routines of the 1840's fur trading post.   

Junior Ranger Program
The children must complete selected parts of the Bent's Old Fort "Journey Through Time" brochure and view the 20 minute documentary film or go on a guided tour.
