Soap Carving at Mud Mania
Soap Carving was one of the many activities available for children (and adults) at last year's Mud Mania event.

Mud Mania: A Celebration of Adobe is Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Site's big summer event. We draw an audience of 600-800 people, mostly families with children, who play games, make crafts, and participate in various activities related to mud, the main ingredient of adobe, from which the 175-year-old historic home is built.

We need volunteers to help with set-up and tear-down, with overseeing crafts, activities, and games, and to help guide visitors into and around the site.

Volunteers can work all day, morning, or late morning through afternoon shifts.
