Summer History Camp
Our Summer History Camp is for campers going into Second through Seventh Grades. Join us for a different age group and theme each week.
Camp hours are 7:30am-5:30pm each day. Structured camp activities are from 9:00am-3:00pm with free play before and after camp. We don't expect our campers to be at camp for the entire time but to make it easier on parents our extended hours will help with drop off and pick up times. Our 19th Century Inventors Workshop will include learning about the Scientific method and will have lots of hands on 19th Century Science activities.
Camp runs in July. Two snacks are provided but campers need to bring their own lunch, water bottle and sunscreen. Registration is due the Friday before your camp week begins. If you have questions email Mahaffie or call 913.971.5111. Click the program theme below to register.
