Kids History Camp

Camp Overview

Your donation helps support our organization's mission to make a positive impact in the community. Located on the grounds of the museum and on a nearby farm, kids from ages 6 to 15 will participate in six stations, each focused on a different topic of living in the late 1800s to early 1900s.

Kids History Camp will be a multi-generational activity, bringing kids and adults together through learning activities.
