Summer Camps At Home

Summer Camps At Home

Hello from Gilbert House Children’s Museum!  It’s been awhile.  We have been busy preparing something special for you and your family this summer… introducing Gilbert House Summer Camps At Home.  This has been an effort supported by a number of community partners, for which we are very grateful.  Though “camp” is not the same without the excitement of being together, in the spirit of camp we hope to inspire fresh creative learning in your own spaces.

Each week we are selecting activities from our themed summer camps to provide a guide for you to explore in the comfort of your own home.  We post these guides regularly on our website, or if you are a member, we are sending them straight to your inbox.  Perhaps you have another friend that would like to participate with you!  Within each guide we provide curated activities, a themed reading list, and additional video inspiration.  Our suggested activities are hopefully a springboard for some of your own ideas, as well.  Of main importance is simply choosing to foster a summer of curiosity, adventure, creative play, and investigation for your kiddos.  So, let’s get started!  As always, we love to see what you are up to… especially during our closure.  Tag us on instagram, on Facebook, or share directly with our community of fellow caretakers in our Facebook Group.

Enjoy a summer of memory making, and keep playing…
