Summer Day Camps at Historic Cahill School
Enroll your child in a Historic Cahill School Summer Day Camp this summer. We offer partial day camp options. The same costumed interpreters who enchant children with the 1888 Time Capsule program will supervise the Summer Day Camps. 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.
