Hands-On History Camp
Registration is now open!
Session one: June 10-14
Session two: June 17-21, 2024
Session Two is full!
Please contact us to join a waitlist for this session.
The Moravian Historical Society hosts its popular Hands-On History camp on our historic site. Students 8 to 12 years old (by the start of camp) can kick off their summer vacation immersed in history!
This year's theme is "Camp Colonial." Inspired by the objects in our museum collection, camp activities will explore colonial life, music, crafts, and games. Campers will have the opportunity to learn from scholars and professionals with expertise in their field, practice colonial crafts like tinsmithing and garden planting, play colonial games, and much more.
Camp runs Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
"My kids had a fantastic time and came home every day with nothing but praise for everything they did."
