What was life like for a French fur trader in the 1700s? How much knowledge did these early explorers need to survive their journey in search of furs? Students learn about the challenges, risks and rewards of being a French fur trader and demonstrate the skills necessary for success. This is an opportunity for homeschooled or remote learning students to experience Isle a la Cache’s field trip programs that are normally only offered to school groups.
