What a week! Our first week of summer camp is officially over and our young explorers blasted through the past and made unforgettable memories at Time Traveler Camp! 🕰️✨

We journeyed across history and packed in SO many adventures: Wrote our names in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, cracked open fossils to discover hidden gems inside, created our own clay fossils, designed and decorated cowboy hats for a trip to the Wild West, made our own jute baskets, played games from 1776 when we stepped back into early American life…and so much more!
From ancient wonders to wild frontier fun, these campers truly experienced history in the most hands-on way!

👉 There’s still time to join the fun! A few spots remain in our summer camps—don’t miss out:
