Visions of Windsor Summer Camp Information

 

In this summer camp, children will explore Windsor’s history and become junior curators by creating a traveling exhibition that will be displayed around town in 2009.  By exploring our two exhibitions and participating in field trips around town, children will discover what Windsor means to them today.  Children will learn photography and photo editing, canvas painting and creative writing skills as they work together to select images and objects to create their exhibition.
