Historical Fiction Writing Summer Camp

June 29 - July 3, 2026, 9AM - 3PM

Learn the art of creative writing through the lens of history. Working with a professional author, students will hone their writing skills, use real historical primary and secondary sources, and develop their imaginations. Campers will have the chance to immerse themselves in the 18th-century world by cooking, trying on clothing, and engaging in chores and daily life to develop authentic characters, settings, and plots. The museum inspires the works of historical fiction that participants will create. Designed for ages 12-17.
