A FUN, new Day Camp offered by

The Historical Society of  Washington, D.C.

August 2nd - 6th, 2010

9:30 am - 4:30 pm

Everyone is unique with a special story to tell.  Our campers will learn drama, music, and songs to explore their personal history and how their families, friends, and community have influenced who they are today.  Young actors will engage in improvisational techniques to retell their unique stories and learn to compose songs to accompany their skits.  Friends and family are invited on the final day for a premiere performance. 

This engaging camp also includes a fieldtrip, walking tour, and a workshop in Tai Chi. 

Grades 5 - 7.  General Admission $225.  HSW Members $200.  Camp limit 25.
