Moravian Historical Society
Hands-On History Camp
Waitlist Only!
Session one: June 12-16
Session two: June 19-23, 2023
The Moravian Historical Society hosts its popular Hands-On History camp on our historic site at 214 East Center Street in Nazareth. The camp theme this year is "Science Through History." Rising third through fifth grade students can kick off their summer vacation immersed in history as they engage in STEAM-centered activities to learn how science and technology have changed how we live our lives. Campers have the opportunity to work hands-on with local scholars and professionals who lead exciting activities and learning experiences. Campers explore museum objects, create artistic projects in both drawing and music, create models and objects used by colonists, act out a final play, and much more!
Camp runs Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Please call 610-759-5070 or email us to place a child on the waitlist for Session One or Session Two.
