Posted

The General Lew Wallace Study & Museum announces the return of ArchiCamp in collaboration with Indiana Landmarks.

ArchiCamp is a two-day architecture-themed camp to engage and inspire children with the rich history of Crawfordsville to instill a sense of stewardship for cultural heritage.

Scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 18-19, ArchiCamp invites young explorers aged 8-12 to embark on an immersive journey through local history, architecture and creativity.

Campers will delve into the distinctive architectural styles of downtown Crawfordsville and the Lew Wallace Study through enlightening walking tours. Campers will participate in a variety of hands-on activities tailored to spark their imagination and curiosity.

Past years activities have included crafting popsicle stick bridges, designing blueprints, and constructing cityscapes using recycled material. ArchiCamp offers an array of experiences that blend education with fun.

Limited spots are available for ArchiCamp, and scholarships are accessible to ensure inclusivity. Parents and guardians are encouraged to register their young architects promptly to secure a place for this enriching experience.

To register, contact Thomas Meeks at 765-362-5769 or tmeeks@ben-hur.com. Registration forms and additional information are available at www.ben-hur.com/programs/archicamp/
