Join Cliveden this summer for its Building Bridges summer camp. The camp will run daily from July 13 to July 17, 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, and will continue “building bridges” between the local youth and Historic Germantown.
The Building Bridges summer camp will introduce area youth to historic sites around Germantown. Children will take daily field trips to local historic sites including Awbury Arboretum, the La Salle University Art Museum, Wyck and the Johnson House. The camp will also feature an array of activities and lessons on Cliveden’s historic 6 acre grounds.
The week will end with a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. While there, the children will be treated to a specialty tour of the animals of Africa and Madagascar. Campers will also have access to the other sites at the zoo as well.
For further information about this program, please contact Cliveden’s Education Director Richard Fink by email at rfink@cliveden.org or by calling 215-848-1777. Further camp details can be found at www.cliveden.org.
Cost of the camp will be $125 for the whole week. Children ages 7-12 are permitted.

A source of terrific courses for kids who love learning is Penn State in Abington. Check their Web site for info. on camps and getting on their mailing list. Courses range from arts to sciences and take place on the campus. I just found out about them and have heard good reports from other parents. I believe the youngest age is 8.
