Bush-Holley History & Art Camps

$450 two-week session / $300 single week (if available)

These are all two-week camp programs that include one week of colonial history and one week of art. Each camp is designed to be fun, engaging and hands-on. Each week of the camp season will include a field trip and a Friday Parents Day.

Camps are directed by Tara Tomaselli, Associate Director of Education and are staffed by experienced counselors with an interest in history, art or education. Camps include additional instruction by professional artists, educators and re-enactors.

A new Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program will be launched this year. CITs MUST be 14 or 15 years of age to participate. This is an opportunity to learn how to be an effective camp counselor and volunteer your time to a community organization. CITs should be outgoing, mature, responsible, comfortable working and communicating with children, have some experience working with children and a willingness to learn new things. Spaces are limited and only available July 14-25 or July 28-August 8. A two-week commitment is required.
