The
Trumbull Historical Society is excited to offer two great day camp
experiences for kids interested in absorbing a little history along with the
sun this summer vacation.The camps will be held from 9 a.m. until
noon at the Society's museum at 1856 Huntington Turnpike, Trumbull.
A Child's Life in Colonial Times, led
by THS educator Wendy Mawhinney, is slated for the week of July 12-16. Campers entering 3rd
through 6th grades will
experience first-hand what life was like for children in colonial times
through hands-on
activities, including colonial crafts, toys and games, and much more.
The following week, July 19-23, "Time Capsule Chef Visits The White House" will blast kids entering 3rd through 6th grade on a creative and fun trip back in time to "visit" five past presidents from Colonial days to the "cool" years of the 1960s. Activities will focus on a president each day and include kid-friendly preparation of the presidents' favorite recipes; art projects ranging from authentic colonial crafts through "groovy" project of the Sixties; theater fun with no memorizing and fabulous science activities and games from throughout our history. Nancy Novack of Creative Canvas Company, who brought her "Historical Canvas" camp to the museum last summer, will lead "Time Capsule."
Children may sign up for either or both
camps. The fee for each camp is $160 for
members and $180 for non-members (which includes a 1-year family membership to
the society).
