In
this summer camp, kids explore life in the
1700s by spending a week as a colonial child!
By doing activities at both the historic Noah
Webster House and the farm at Westmoor Park,
children experience first hand the chores, games,
and fun of colonial times! When at the Noah Webster
House, children become colonial “characters” in
costume, and help to cook their lunches over
an open hearth. They 
explore
Noah Webster’s house and garden,
work on crafts, make and play games and instruments,
and learn colonial songs and dances. At Westmoor
Park, children encounter life on a farm by doing
barnyard chores, working in the garden, and processing
wool. At this 162-acre property, they will have
the opportunity to go on nature walks, collect
plants, make candy and medicine, and play outdoor
games.
