August 3-7 (Wednesday - Friday, 9:30-4:00)
Folk Camp: Arts, Trades, and Crafts (Virtual & In-Person Hybrid Camp)
This camp provides an opportunity for children to discover ideas of what makes something an art, trade, or craft have changed over time and continue to with new technologies. Campers will uncover forms of human creation through exploring historic tradespeople, people who still work in traditional ways or have discovered new ways, and participating in hands-on activities. Folkways that will be explored include basketry, carpentry, cooking, fiber arts, ceramics, and more!
The Folk Camp will offer in-person hours Monday, Wednesday, & Friday from 9:00am-12:00pm on the Oberlin Heritage Center grounds (73 ½ S. Professor Street). In-person camp days will take place primarily outdoors and there may be occasional walking field trips to locations around town. Children must bring appropriate outdoor attire, sturdy shoes, and a mask each day. A bag lunch and water bottle must also accompany the children every day they come to the museum.
$45 for members; $50 for nonmembers ($5 discount if registered before June 15)
