Enroll your child in a Historic Cahill School Summer Day Camp this summer. 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 arts and crafts projects, performing the daily activities of 19th century children, learning Minnesotan history, caring for the garden, and outdoor play.
