This day camp is repeated 3 times during the summer. Each session ends with campers exploring the “shimmering” creek of Bertha Van Hoosen’s childhood after a day of doing some of her favorite chores, attending the schoolhouse that she loved, harvesting fruits and vegetables and visiting the final resting place of the Taylor-Van Hoosen family.

Ages 9-12: 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Enjoy four days of fun on our 16 acres and throughout our historic buildings and Stony Creek. The sites/sights, sounds, smell, tastes, and feeling are fodder for any budding young writer. The focus is on process not product, but does align with the Common Core Curriculum. Space is limited.
