New London Historical Society Opens Registration for Hands-on History Day Camp
Back by popular demand the Hands-on History Day Camp will be offered again in 2017. The theme is “exploring local history that shows life in the 1800s in New England.” Campers actively engage in working at the forge with our blacksmith as well as spinning, rug hooking, and hearthside cooking. Contra dancing, singing, and outdoor games that were so popular last summer will be also be part of the program. This is a wonderful opportunity for grandparents to provide visiting grandchildren with hands-on activities. Scheduled for the weeks of July 10 - 14 and July 17 - 21, you may choose a one-week or a two-week adventure. (Video of 2017 camp experience.)
Camp registration form. For more information please email Maureen Strachan newlondonhistorycamp@gmail.com or call her at 603 731-4353.
