Looking for a summer camp that offers more than just the usual arts and crafts? The Carroll County Farm Museum is stepping in with a trio of exciting weekly camps, each designed to give 2nd to 6th graders a unique blend of educational and hands-on experiences. With a focus on farming, history, and culture, these camps are set to run rain or shine and have just announced open registration slots, according to Carroll County.
First up, "Farm Camp, Farming Around the World," transports kids to different cultures through farm life. Set for July 8-12, this camp introduces children to the ins and outs of living off the land, encompassing animal care, cooking, and gardening, simulating an international agrarian journey. Established to expand horizons, it promises a blend of learning and fun, designed to ignite an appreciation for global traditions and farming practices, according to Carroll County.
For young gourmets and history buffs, Living History Camp: Cooking Thru the Ages, taking place from July 22-26, offers an edible excursion through time. Campers can expect to roll up their sleeves and dive into recipes and food-prep techniques that span centuries. Imagine hand-churning butter like a settler or grinding spices as an ancient trader; it's a flavor-filled lesson in how our ancestors lived and ate.
The immersion continues with Living History Camp: Exploring 1800-2000, scheduled for August 5-9. This camp allows attendees to experience slices of life from the past two centuries. A journey through the evolution of music, fashion, entertainment, and the influence of notable figures awaits. It's a rare opportunity for campers to step back in time and understand the lifestyle changes that have shaped our modern world.
Each camp is priced at $215, and spaces are capped at 40 participants per session, with registration following a 'first come, first served' policy based on the date of payment. Those interested should act swiftly to secure a spot.
