What’s more fun than hands-on activities for children in an exciting and simulating environment? Trick question… Nothing!Hearthstone Historic House Museum in Appleton is once again hosting three sessions of its educational summer day camp in Summer 2024 to get young students excited about science and humanities, learn important skills, be creative, and have fun with their peers!
Spark Your Imagination Summer Camp is intended for children entering grades 4, 5, 6, or 7 (ages 9-12) in the fall. Each session will cover the same topics, so students are encouraged to sign up for only one week-long session.
Spark Your Imagination Summer Camps teach children about historic inventors and inventions related to Hearthstone Historic House Museum and the Fox Valley using museum resources and a field trip to nearby Vulcan Heritage Park. Once children learn about Appleton’s innovative history, they begin thinking about the invention process using Invention Convention curriculum provided by the Henry Ford Museum’s Invention Convention Worldwide program. Through educational programming, interactive activities, and experiments, children then identify a problem they wish to solve and leave the camp with a new invention that they came up with all on their own. This camp is an excellent opportunity for students to exercise their imaginations and creativity as they think of problems and solutions, design models and logos, and build a prototype out of duct tape and cardboard.
