I'm an American Girl with Michelle Rudd

Description

This multimedia project-based camp is inspired by the award-winning American Girl books, which have been honored more than 450 times by top national parenting and educational programs. This camp brings history to life through hands-on exploration. Campers will learn how girls lived in different eras by discussing stories, tasting foods from the past, and creating themed crafts, all leading up to a special girl and doll tea party. No doll is required, and any doll is welcome. This enriching, confidence-building week helps girls understand the past while inspiring them to imagine their own bright future.
