Kids are up to date on the latest technology, but are they ready for time travel? They can have a chance to go back in time with the Travels In Time Camp - Apprentice Guild! Kids will be able to experience what life was like in America in the 1840s, 1880s, and 1920s, before there were cell phones and video games.
This four-day interactive camp includes visits to three historic sites. Campers will apprentice at the different sites, learning the trades that were popular during these time periods, all while having fun.
Sense-ational!

Each day the group meets at a different park for a hike with a natural history theme. Campers should bring a bag lunch and water as they’ll be out on the trails all day!
