PA Lumber Museum
History Camp
August 2-3
Looking for a unique experience for your child this summer? The Pennsylvania Lumber Museum is excited to present its hands-on History Camp. Children ages 10-18 will spend two full-days immersing themselves in the rough and tumble lifestyle of a 19-century woodhick. Campers will try activities like using a crosscut saw, rolling a log, and peeling bark. They’ll play games like horseshoes, seed spitting, and model log raft racing. They'll help prepare their own breakfast on a wood-fired cookstove, watch horses skid logs and learn different survival methods of making fire.
Advanced Registration is required. Download registration form and return to the museum by July 15.
