Summer Camps & Workshops 2012

Colonial Kid’s Adventure Camp (Ages 8-11)

July 9-13, July 23-27, and August 6-10
Kids explore life in the 1700's by spending a week as a colonial child.  By doing activities at both the historic Noah Webster House and the farm at Westmoor Park, children experience first hand the chores, games and fun of colonial times.  
During the week, children become colonial "characters" and help to cook their lunches over an open hearth. They explore Noah Webster's house and garden, work on crafts, and play games. At Westmoor Park, children encounter life on a farm by caring for the barnyard animals, tending the vegetable garden and creating food and crafts from the bountiful natural resources of the park.
Camp is held in two different locations. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sessions will be held at the Noah Webster House, 227 South Main Street. Tuesday and Thursday sessions will be held at Westmoor Park, 119 Flagg Road.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be spent at the Elmwood Community Centerin mini-theater workshops that are filled with imagination, pantomime, dramatic play, fantasy, fun and creativity.
