Summer Day Camps at Historic Cahill School
Enroll your child in a Historic Cahill Summer Day Camp for a week this summer. We offer partial day and full day camp options. The same costumed interpreters who enchant children with “trips” back to a school day in 1900 will supervise the Summer Day Camp. A typical camp day includes activities such as turn-of-century songs and stories, moral virtues and rhymes, mystery items, group games, and arts and crafts projects related to the historical theme.
Homestead Camp
|
Spend a week experiencing life in Minnesota during the late 1800s. Using stories, activities and play, campers will spend the week learning what it took to claim a homestead in Minnesota. Together, the campers will do chores such as laundry, gardening and cooking the way they would have been done historically. It will be a week they will never forget. This camp is recommended for ages 6-12.
All 2018 sessions have ended. Please check back in 2019.

Sewing Camp
|
Want to learn sewing fundamentals that will last a lifetime? Campers will become skilled at a variety of stitches that will help them to complete several sewing projects. During the week, campers will receive an education in textile history and use their new skills to complete their own sampler and decorative stitching project. This week will be a welcome and rewarding break from all the screens and devices of the modern world. This camp is recommended for ages 9-12.

Tea & Manners Camp

Manners matter. Campers will spend the week learning manners and preparing for a splendid tea. Cleaned laundry, pressed linens, table decorations and fresh butter will all be on the agenda as the campers practice their new skills and savor the late summer days together. Campers will celebrate their accomplishments at a fine tea on the last day of camp. This camp is recommended for ages 6-12.
