Junior History Camp (grades 2-4) at the Greenwich Historical Society

At the Greenwich Historical Society’s Art and History Camp, kids learn important skills while exploring Connecticut’s colonial history and the works of the Cos Cob Art Colony through games, crafts and hands-on fun. Creative young minds will spend time in our historic gardens and barn, exploring their surroundings using art, science, and old-fashioned ingenuity under the guidance of professional educators and artists. Space is limited!
Campers will be transported back in time to Greenwich’s colonial era. They will learn about important historical events as well as skills necessary for living in a time without electricity and running water. Campers will have the opportunity to weave, cook and create colonial art. They will also learn about the importance of a personal garden by interacting with the plants that were grown for cooking, medicine and creating natural pigments.
