Drop-In Day Camp — FREE
June 11, 18 and 25 (Thursdays) and July 2, 9 and 16

The theme of this year’s Drop-in Day Camp is “Discovering the Old South.” Each day campers will experience a different aspect of life in the 19th century. The headline for the June 11 Drop-in Day Camp is "Games of Long Ago." Campers will learn about children’s pastimes of the 1800s. Children will play historic games, for example rolling hoops, the game of grace, jacks, and make crafts of the time period.

This program is free and open to children ages 5-12 years-old. The June 11 program will run from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Parents are asked to have their children to the museum 10 to 15 minutes early for orientation. Parents are encouraged to visit the museum during the program or even join in with the campers. Snacks will be provided for campers as well.

The program also runs on June 18 and 25. Among the topics to be covered during June and July Drop-in Day Camp are:
A Soldier's Life
Flags & Fireworks
From Field to Fiber
From Slavery to Freedom
Tracks & Trails
