EVENTS Shiloh Museum Summer Camps
Registration is underway for the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History’s summer camps for children. Campers will explore the decades of the 1950s through the 1990s — a different decade each day of camp. Snacks are provided for both camps; lunch is provided for campers attending Session II.
• Session I, for ages 7-10, takes place June 17–21 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Cost is $30 for museum members; $40 for nonmembers.
• Session II, for ages 11-14, takes place July 8-12 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Cost is $45 for museum members; $55 for nonmembers.
Space is limited for both camps; preregistration and payment is required. A limited number of scholarships are available. The registration deadline is May 31 or when camps are full. For information, call the museum or email jcostello@springdalear.gov.
