Time Traveler's Camp!

There's a new program being offered by the Neenah Historical Society and I, for once, wish I were a younger so I could participate! The Neenah Historical Society invites you to learn what life was like more than 100 years ago at three day camps (Fridays, June 15, 22, & 29) at different Neenah landmarks.

Time Traveler's Camps are for students in grades 2-6 and are $15 each or $40 for all three (Class# 221205-D). Campers will need to bring a sack lunch each day. Registration begins in April and can be taken care of through the City of Neenah Parks and Recreation Department office (920) 886-6060. City of Neenah Residents can register starting tomorrow (April 4th). Non-Residents can register starting April 18. Here's the Registration Form: http://www.ci.neenah.wi.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/inside-back.pdf
