Summer History Day Camps

Director Michele with Colonial Campers

Hello Friends,

Due to my needing to care for my handicapped husband more than before, I have decided to offer a few 3-day mini-camps this year, featuring several historic time periods.  Earlier this website said that there would not be any camp sessions this summer, but some homeschool moms have gotten together a core group of campers, so we will be having a minimum of 2 camp sessions, which are open to the public. 

 

The dates are listed below, and if any of you can get a group of at least 10 together, I will offer more camp sessions.

 

Thanks for your understanding.


Michele

 *****************************************
 
These unique day camp sessions are held at Southern Oaks, 240 N. Jeff Davis Drive in downtown Fayetteville, Georgia, which is approximately 20 miles south of Atlanta. 

Campers must be ages 8 to 12, occasionally I will allow a 7 year old.  For the TEEN CAMP, girls can be mature 11 and 12 year olds up through age 17.  If they are still "little-girlish" then the teen camp is not appropriate for them.  I can make the determination on a one-by-one basis if a pre-teen girl is ready for teen camp.
 
Sessions are limited to 20 campers each week, with a minimum of one adult and one teen-age assistant present at all times.

Hours:  10am to 3pm,  Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, on dates listed below.

Victorian Life - Girls ages 8-12 learn about the life of a girl in the mid-1800s. Campers dress up in hoop skirts and  make their own bonnets, take tea in the Victorian style, do needlework, learn early American dancing, and more!


Colonial Days
- Girls ages 8-12 dress in 1700s outfits and make aprons, which they embroider themselves. They participate in several activities of the Colonial days, including holding a "liber-tea," pressing flowers, learning Colonial games and dancing!

Teens Through Time-- Open to teen-agers and pre-teens as long as they are tall enough to fit into the costumes . Campers will learn about women's lives through three eras-- Regency (early 1800s), Edwardian (late 1800s) & "Roaring Twenties!!"  Costume-making, period dancing, hat-making, sewing, calligraphy, and taking tea!

International Folk Dance Camp - [Not planning to offer this year, but will if there's enough interest]  Campers learn circle, partner, and line dances from several regions of the world.  They will make beautiful headpieces, sample international foods, and put on a first-class dance program at the end of the camp week. Available to boys and girls ages 8 through teens. 
 

 

 

HOW TO REGISTER--

 

Registration may be done in the following ways:

  •  In Person -- Parents may visit Southern Oaks and register campers any time beginning in Spring of 2011 (Note: There is not always a staff person on the premises, so it is best to call first.)

  •  By Phone/Mail -- Campers can be registered by calling Southern Oaks at 770-460-0890.  Once availability is determined for the desired camp session, the camper's spot in the desired session will be reserved, and tuition payment may be mailed to Southern Oaks.

Please do not send money directly to Southern Oaks without first determining that there is an opening in your desired camp session!

  •  By E-Mail -- Michele Cox can be contacted by e-mail to register for camp at the following e-mail address:  Victorianlady@mindspring.com.  Once availability for the desired camp days is determined, the camper's spot in that session will be reserved, registration forms can be downloaded below, and tuition payment may be mailed as stated above.  I can accept *credit cards over the phone, but not online at this time.

  •  Ongoing Registration -- Persons wishing to register a camper for a later session during the summer may come in person to Southern Oaks during the hours that the camp is being conducted.  Due to the Director being engaged in conducting camp activities, one may have to wait until an activity is over before the Director can sign up a new camper.
