Bayou Bend Virtual Summer Camp | “Crafting America” Monday, August 5, 2024 5 p.m.-6 p.m.

In this unique virtual camp experience—designed for ages 7 to 12—children develop an understanding of daily life in 1700s-era Colonial America by looking at the things people made. Camp sessions include units on candle-making, pickling vegetables, music, tea, gardening, and historic toys.
Virtual visits with instructors from the Museum and community offer unparalleled access to expert instruction. Campers can participate in projects at home by obtaining the items required through a provided supply list.
