• The Chadds Ford Historical Society is offering two American Girl Camps this summer, June 24-28 and Aug.5-9. Camps will be focusing on one era and one or more dolls per day. Your child can bring along their favorite doll to play and learn American History through their eyes. From the earliest days of the colonies through the American Revolution, from the Civil War to Civil Rights, the changes that took place for all Americans have had a major impact on our girls' lives today. This camp is available for students entering second grade through fifth grade (children must be at least 7 years of age to participate). The program begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. Children should bring a nutritious lunch and a water bottle. Snacks will be provided; restrictions or allergies should be noted for each registered child. Cost is $325 each week. For more information email education@chaddsfordhistory.org or call 610-388-7376.
