History Camp at the Joseph Priestley House

The Joseph Priestley House in Northumberland will hold its Summer History Camp on July 27, 28, and 29 led by local educators, Lindy Fasold and Dixie Gavason.

The fee is $30 per child.

As of this writing, the theme has not yet been selected. Summer History Camp is open to elementary school students, ages 6 to 12, who have completed first grade but not more than fifth grade. Advance registration is required. Participants are not required to attend camps at both the Joseph Priestley House and the Hunter House. Please register early as space is limited.
