Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (Summer Camps on the Trails of History)

If you're looking for something to do this weekend or in the coming weeks, visit the June program page for ideas.

So if you're "of a certain age," the title of this post will have provided you with today's ear worm. Just one of the services we offer here at Trailheads. Although we don't have sleepaway camps, there are plenty of single-day and multi-day summer camps on the Trails of History. There are also weekend and evening programs throughout the summer designed to be family-friendly (there are also programs just for grown-ups, if that's more your style). Registration deadlines are coming up for many of these camps, so please don't wait to contact sites (info is up-to-date as of June 2, based on individual websites).
