A Land for Little Vikings

By Linda Tancs

Are you of Norwegian heritage?  Well now there’s a place for your little Vikings to explore their background on this side of the pond.  Land of the Vikings is a year-round cultural and recreational center in Sherman, Pennsylvania.  Just 35 miles east of Binghamton, New York, its 150 acres provide the perfect venue for the children’s summer camp.  In addition to outdoor sports activities, the camp offers classes in the Norwegian language as well as traditions such as rosemaling, woodworking, and hardanger.  The camp serves children aged 12 to 15 from 1-7 July and those aged 8 to 11 from 8-14 July.
