Camp 2007 Recap -
The education department at Naper Settlement enjoyed a very fun and exciting summer of Camp Naper. Kids ages 5-11 came for week long day camps each with a unique historical theme. While playing games, learning 19th century chores and visiting historic buildings, kids got a wonderful perspective on the lives of children in the 1800s. Camp Naper is first and foremost, fun, but also engages children to consider history in an interactive environment. For Camp Naper kids, history comes alive in a whole new way. Consider Camp Naper next summer for your kids.
