Summer Camp: Hometown Originals
August 7 - August 11

August 7 – 11
Hometown Originals
Members $347 | Non Members $385
Have you ever wondered what it was like to live in Essex hundreds or even thousands of years ago? This week, campers will learn about the Indigenous peoples of Essex and how they thrived on the riverfront for thousands of years. We’ll also imagine the lives of the early European settlers, captains, and merchants and remember the burning of the ships in Essex in 1814. We’ll explore Essex to complete a scavenger hunt and work together to solve an old Essex mystery.
Camp runs Monday through Friday
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
