It’s not too late to sign your child up for one of the exciting camps offered at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum! While some of JPPM’s camps are filled, there are still two available, including a second session of JPPM’s popular Dirt Alert Camp that was just added.
Native Skills Camp, July 25- July 29, ages 10-13. Challenge yourself to learn the skills used by native people to live with the land! Explore the forest and marsh, play games involving stalking and tracking, and try to catch fish in the river. Learn how to make fire without matches, how shelters were built, and the tools and techniques of native people. Registration closes July 11!
Dirt Alert Camp, August 8-12, ages 7-9. All hands in! Imagine sand between your toes. How about ooey gooey mud between your fingers? Can you close your eyes and hear feet marching on dry soil? Experience these sensations and more as we explore from the ground up! Campers will test their green thumbs in the native garden, survey an archaeological site, and even try on natural camouflage. Try something new and messy, all in the name of science!
Camps run from 9 AM to 4 PM and are held at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum located at 10515 Mackall Road, St. Leonard, MD 20685. Cost is $135 per child, with a 10% discount offered to members of the Friends of JPPM. Sign up today as space is limited.
