Senior Art & History Campers
Dive through the centuries, exploring both the history of Colonial Greenwich and the achievements of the Cos Cob Art Colony. Campers will learn the breadth of the traditional crafts of the 18th century, from barn raising, to textile production, to hearth cooking, alongside the distinctive flair of 19th century impressionism and theatre. The best of both centuries is waiting for them.
Week of July 10 – 14 (rising grades 5–8)
9:30 am – 2:30 pm
Junior History Campers
Campers will be transported back in time to Greenwich’s colonial era. They will learn about important historical events as well as skills necessary for living in a time without electricity and running water. Campers will have the opportunity to weave, cook and create colonial art. They will also learn about the importance of a personal garden by interacting with the plants that were grown for cooking, medicine and creating natural pigments.

Junior Art Campers
Campers will learn about the Cos Cob Art Colony and the avant-garde work of the impressionist artists that stayed at the Bush Holley House.

Activities include painting en plain air, exploring mixed mediums, and theatre.
