3 Reasons to Send your Children to Strawbery Banke Summer Camp

February 4, 2025

Summer might feel far away, but now’s the ideal time to plan an unforgettable experience for your child! Strawbery Banke’s summer camps offer a blend of history, adventure, and creativity. Due to high demand, new sessions have been added for 2025, providing hands-on activities, outdoor exploration, and expert-led learning for kids ages 6-17. Whether it’s crafting, discovering nature, or honing new skills, these camps promise fun and growth.

Here are the top three reasons to send your child to summer camp at Strawbery Banke Museum:



1. History in Action: At Strawbery Banke, history isn’t just something you read about—it’s something you experience! From creating colonial crafts to stepping into the role of a young curator, campers will engage in interactive activities that bring the past to life in exciting ways.

Your child will have the opportunity to explore museum artifacts and learn about the art of curation.

2. Fun, Expert-Led Adventures: With a team of passionate instructors, your child will have fun while learning. Whether it's mastering an old-timey skill or experimenting with new ideas, each camp is designed to inspire creativity and curiosity.



3. Outdoor Exploration & Discovery: Take advantage of Strawbery Banke’s nearly 10-acre campus including its historical gardens and landscapes. From exploring horticulture to engaging with nature through hands-on activities, every camp is an opportunity for your child to get outside, explore, and discover the world in a whole new way.



It’s no surprise that Strawbery Banke’s summer camps sell out each year! To accommodate growing demand, Director of Education Bekki Copolla and her team have added new camp sessions for 2025, ensuring even more kids can join in on the fun. Plus! There are extended care options and need-based scholarships are available to help families with flexibility and accessibility.
