Village Kids
Historic
Cold Spring Village Summer Camp
Sponsored by Bank of America
Village Kids
is a unique educational program, which incorporates
dressing up in period clothes, crafts, games, and
activities for children ages 7 – 11 years old.
Ten sessions
take place from 1pm - 4pm on Thursday and Friday
afternoons in July.
Children may
sign up for a minimum of 2 sessions, up to a maximum of
10.
Two
experienced camp leaders work with the children the
first hour, playing games and sharing activities. After
putting on period costumes over their summer clothing
the camp makes a field trip into the Village to visit
with one of our interpreters. During their trip back in
time, the children learn more about the day’s topic,
explore the interpreter’s building and take part in a
hands-on activity. To finish the day, campers make a
craft that relates to the topic and take their project
home.
