Time Travelers

Full day: 9am–4pm
Sessions 1–5 and 9–10

Jump through history as you explore a new time period each day and experience the lives of Iowa’s first farmers. Help with farm chores in 1900, make ice cream 1870s-style, tell a folk story in the pioneer days, and cook fry bread!

Activities subject to change. Short weeks will vary but will include creek walk. On creek day your camper will get wet and muddy. Bring a towel or plastic bag for the car.

Technology through the Years

Full day: 9am–4pm
Sessions 1, 3, 5–8

Get dirty planting a garden with 1700-era Ioway tools, try your hand at an assembly line in 1900, and see how new machines made work easier for craftsmen in the 1870s. Investigate inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, and learn how people like John Deere and George Washington Carver changed farming. Discover how changes in technology have transformed our lives as you travel through time visiting our historic sites.

Activities subject to change. Short weeks will vary but will include creek walk. On creek day your camper will get wet and muddy. Bring a towel or plastic bag for the car.

Wait list

• If a camp session is full, you may fill out this form to be placed on a wait list.
• Include the program and date that you are interested in attending.

Group Requests

When we have multiple camps of the same grade level, we cannot guarantee your child will be placed with friends. However, we will make every effort to accommodate up to two requests. Please keep the following in mind:

• Campers must be registered for the same camp, in the same week, and be in the same grade.
• Camp is about making friends. When large groups of friends are together, other campers can feel left out. We will split requests larger than 3 friends.
