🇺🇸✨ This summer, the Warwick Historical Society & Education Committee are inviting kids to step into the story of America as we celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary!✨🇺🇸

🏛️ HISTORY UNCOVERED: A Summer Day Camp for Young Historians
📅 August 10–14, 2026
👧🧒 Ages 8–10 (Entering Grades 3–5)

Forget textbooks—this is history you can touch, explore, and experience!

Throughout the week, campers will:
🔎 Hunt for clues from Warwick's past
⚔️ Learn about spies, soldiers, and the American Revolution
🚂 Climb aboard a historic railroad caboose
🏡 Visit five incredible historic sites
🎨 Create hands-on crafts and projects
🌾 Discover how colonial kids lived, worked, and played
🍎 Enjoy games, snacks, and special guest historians

From the Shingle House to Baird's Tavern, from the Old School Baptist Meeting House to the Sly Barn, every day is a new adventure into the people and places that helped shape Warwick—and America.

At the end of the week, every camper will earn the title of Junior Warwick Historian and receive a Certificate of Achievement!

As our nation marks America 250, there's never been a better time for young people to discover the stories of courage, community, and everyday life that built our country.

📢 Registration opens June 15!

Since 1984, the Warwick Historical Society’s Education Committee has welcomed Warwick’s fourth graders to experience history beyond the classroom, and this year was one of our biggest and most exciting programs yet.

Over the course of three days, we hosted:
📚 330 Warwick 4th Grade students
🏫 2 elementary schools
👩‍🏫 40 teachers and parent chaperones
🙋 25 dedicated WHS volunteers
🏛️ 4 historic properties
✨ 3 brand-new lesson plans

A big thank you to the Village of Warwick, the Warwick DPW, Warwick Fire Dept. and the Warwick Police Dept. for helping ensure the tours ran smoothly and safely. Thank you to the teachers, bus drivers, school administrators, parent volunteers, and the many community partners who helped make these tours possible for the students.

Most importantly, thank you to our incredible volunteers, Education Committee members, and office staff who spent months planning! Your dedication helps bring Warwick’s history to life for the next generation.
