Hands-On History Summer Camp:
American Kids!
The students spent the summer inside and out, playing
historical games,
making crafts, learning drumming (on frame drums they made!),
and preparing a play about slavery and the Underground Railroad.
The play, "Journey to Freedom," adapted by Barbara and
Mary Enos,
was performed for an audience of parents and friends on the last
day of camp.

Crafts

We say "hands-on history" for
a reason: the students made their own props,
sets, and drums, in addition to "regular" crafts. |
