Award-winning ArchiCamp
offered in Jeffersonville
Monday, July 26 - Tuesday, July 27

ArchiCamp is a day camp for kids that focuses on landmarks, architecture and history.

Indiana Landmarks and the Howard Steamboat Museum will offer a two-day ArchiCamp for children ages 8-12 at the Howard Steamboat Museum. Participants spend both days—from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.—discovering the exciting history of Jeffersonville and its landmark architecture.

Campers will travel back in time to the nineteenth century when they tour the Howard Steamboat Museum and the surrounding neighborhood, try their hand at using historic tools, and play steamboat-related games. There will be plenty of hands-on activities, including knot-tying, model building, and a scavenger hunt.

This is the first year for the Jeffersonville ArchiCamp. Winner of a prestigious award from the American Association of State and Local History, ArchiCamps encourage children to use their imaginations and powers of observation while teaching them about history, architecture, and renovation.

Cost of the camp is $30.00 and includes refreshments, educational materials, and souvenirs. Campers should bring a sack lunch both days.

Enrollment for the camp is limited to 20 children, and a limited number of scholarships are available. Reservations must be made by July 19; contact Laura Renwick at Indiana Landmarks at 812-284-4534 or lrenwick@indianalandmarks.org.
